two early 20th century diminutive weathered green enameled ornamental single-sided cast iron hoops building facade window casing or mullion fragments

SKU: UR-20385-14
a set of two exceptionally well-designed early 20th century refinished ornamental cast iron exterior hoops building (non-extant) building facade window casing or possibly mullion fragments with a remarkable and strongly geometric repeating design motif. the unrestored single-sided cast iron sections were likely salvaged from the upper two floors of the building prior to demolition in the 1990's. the building (located at 529 s. wabash avenue) was designed by the the architectural firm of jenney, mundie & jensen. the luxfer prism glass company showroom occupied part of the building shortly after it was constructed. the design motifs look strikingly similar to luxfer's "geometric flower" prism tiles designed and patented by frank lloyd wright. the older weathered green paint finish was left intact. a very limited number of these fragments and sections are available - with and without the paint. the exact fabricator or foundry is not known.
