"Ironmongery: A Journey Through Time and Trade" Step back in time to the year 1911, where a trade catalogue for jelly and cake moulds showcases the craftsmanship of ironmongers. From intricate designs to practical shapes, these moulds were essential tools for bakers seeking perfection in their confections. Meanwhile, an advert for Phillips & Pearce, Ironmongers in Bath, invites customers to explore their vast array of iron goods. Whether it be sturdy locks or decorative door knockers like Arsen Maralian's exquisite creation from 1936, this shop was a treasure trove for those seeking quality ironwork. Venturing further into history, we find ourselves at Portobello Road Market amidst a bric-a-brac stall. Amongst the eclectic mix of items lies hidden gems waiting to be discovered by keen-eyed collectors and enthusiasts alike. Traveling even further back in time brings us face-to-face with Romanised Britons and Feryllts depicted in an engraving from 1821. Iron played a vital role during this era as both weaponry and everyday utensils were forged by skilled blacksmiths such as those portrayed alongside his wife in Upper Austria during the 18th century. The influence of iron extends beyond mere utility; it is also deeply intertwined with mythology. In Thetis' watchful gaze, Vulcan diligently hammers away at Achilles' armor on canvas - a testament to the enduring power that iron holds within our collective imagination. As we delve into German industry during the 1930s through a captivating black-and-white photograph capturing tin works, we witness how ironmongery became integral to manufacturing processes across various sectors. Returning closer to home, Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's depiction of M. Perier's Ironwork Merchant shop transports us back to Paris in 1767. Here one can imagine perusing shelves filled with ornate hinges, handles, and other iron fittings that adorned the homes of the era.
