Mr. Scott prices his hand-made fences and gates according to style and lineal foot. Among his offerings, for example, are an “economy design” (“perfect where there is a large area to cover and total cost is a factor”), for from $7.25 to $18.75 per lineal foot, a “tight picket pattern” for $13.50 or $14.75 per lineal foot, and a “heavy ornamental fence” for $21 or $24 per lineal foot.
“We are a fabricator of ornamental iron,” says Mir* Scott.
Quoting from the Scott brochure, the history of the ornamental iron work craft:
Since that remote period in the civilization and progress of man to which historians refer as “The Iron Age,” iron has been variously applied to the arts, especially to those in the architectural field. The remarkable strength, malleability and mcldable qualities of iron, together with its almost everlasting life, make it an ideal material for countless uses in building construction.
Centuries ago ornamental iron, both hand wrought and cast, was a favorite architectural material in England and on the Continent, many “smiths” of that time achieving works of art which remain today as an inspiration to craftsmen and students of architecture the world over.
