Zijelement, hekdeel van het inrijhek Huize de Voorst c. 1675 - 1700

This intricate wrought iron section of a gate, titled "Zijelement, hekdeel van het inrijhek Huize de Voorst," was created by Dutch artist Daniël (I) Marot around the late 17th century. The piece showcases the intricate details of the Baroque style, with its swirling volutes, delicate foliage, and bold curves, and the use of gilded accents adds to its decorative appeal. This section, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an exquisite example of Marot's mastery in ironwork, a craft that played a significant role in the ornamentation of grand estates during the era.
