Dating to 1938, Thomas Dooley’s 'Ornamental Iron Leaf' stands as a rigorous study of classical ironwork, capturing the architectural precision and fluid geometry of historic metalcraft. Created during an era that sought to document and preserve the ornamental heritage of American design, this work translates the heavy, tactile nature of forged iron into a delicate, graphic composition. Each print is meticulously rendered to preserve the archival depth of the original illustration, presented with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
