Description
The elegant abstracted line of metal A's and reverse triangles form a 9'/ 10' section from the original 65' entrance railing to the Arizona Biltmore hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. The ornamental railing was designed by Albert Chase McArthur in 1928. The railing was fabricated in the metal shop of the local rehabilitation hospital by recovering WWI veterans.
The original blueprint drawings for the railing by Albert Chase McArthur and period views of related railings in place in the library and living room of the Arizona Biltmore from the McArthur archives are included.
A section of this railing was acquired from me in the 1990s by Mitchell Wolfsopn for his great collection of Art Deco that is the Wolfsonian FIU in Miami.
This is an interesting architectural element from an iconic architectural site. -
