iron grilles
Decorative security bars
Iron grilles are decorative or protective barriers made from iron bars, typically arranged in patterns and used over windows, doors, or other openings.
They serve both security and aesthetic purposes, common in Mediterranean, Spanish colonial, and Gothic architecture.
The bars may be plain or wrought into ornate scrollwork and designs.
The old mansion still had its original iron grilles on the ground-floor windows.
Iron grilles can also cover ventilation openings or serve as room dividers.
