Leaves and ornamental stampings are welded or riveted to the ironwork at the point of contact. They are typically positioned over scroll curls, along bar lengths, or at structural connection points to add naturalistic detail and conceal weld marks. Smaller ornaments can also be secured with structural epoxy for non-load-bearing decorative use.
Leaves and ornaments are used in residential and commercial projects of all sizes. In residential work, they appear on entry gates, balcony railings, and garden structures. In commercial and hospitality settings, large ornate panels in hotel lobbies, restaurants, and public buildings make extensive use of these elements to add richness and historical character.
