Upper East Side
Townhouse - New York
City
What can be done
with olde iron and a
little imagination?
This spectacular
iron installation
adorns an Upper East
Side Manhattan
townhouse. The
railing was salvaged
by the
Architecturologists
from the ballroom of
the former 'Toy
Building' at 23rd
Street & Fifth
Avenue in Manhattan
(now occupied by
Cipriani's
Restaurant).
The posts are from
lower Manhattan.

Samuel Yellin Iron |
|
Samuel
Yellin is widely regarded as one of the greatest
American artist-blacksmiths. His works are collectors'
items and are found on some of the finest
buildings in America, including The Cloisters (the
Metropolitan Museum of New York), New York City, and the
Washington National Cathedral, Washington, DC. He said,
"Iron is a dead metal and it is fun to bring it to
life." Olde Good Things now owns two sets of Yellin
entry gates and several window guards. The first gate
set, below, is installed on the entrance to our 24th
Street, Manhattan, store.

Nautical Iron |

Betcha didn't think the ferry could be a source
of antique iron...
The Architecturologists were on the job at the
Staten Island Ferry and came to shore with
various nautical iron treasures--anchors,
chains, bells, weights, cleats, bollards and
more! |
