AA Tasmanian Heritage Lacework and Balustrade

Heritage Lacework and Balustrade in Tasmania has a range of lacework and balustrade unique to the area .

Designs of balustrade including ferns are popular and specific designs of Balustrade Panels are common

For instance the design of Balustrade chosen by Heritage to be used on the Harbour Masters House in Hobart .

The design used was the only design allowed. Maybe this was the design used when the building was manufactured

I can recall supplying a few options, however designs are set on many Heritage Buildings in Tasmania

 

 Heritage Tasmanian Lacework designs seen in Tasmania are common to the Tasmanian architecture due to a number of small cast iron foundries manufacturing a range of Heritage Castings including cast iron Lacework and cast iron balustrade panels. These castings are now manufactured in aluminium. Many designs of lacework are now prevalent in Tasmania that were registered out of Tasmania.
