scroll work
Spiraling ornamental design
Scrollwork is ornamental design featuring spiral or coiled patterns, resembling rolled paper or parchment.
It appears in metalwork, woodcarving, architectural details, and decorative arts: intricate scrollwork on the iron gate, Victorian scrollwork along the porch railings.
The curves suggest elegance and craftsmanship.
