Crabs and scallop shells on the main door of “Palazzo de Larderel”, now the Civil Courthouse of Livorno.
Still on the front door, the family crest of the de Larderel family.
A more modest handle on a secondary door of the same building.See also: Palazzo de Larderel

Very intricate work.
These are my favorite kind of pictures, VP. Whenever I travel, I take pictures of doorknockers, door panels, mail slots, and other small-scale architectural decorations. Nice!
Very detailed but so beautiful!
Very fancy---at least not leaning like my poor old barn. LOL Mb
Wood: makes a welcome change from stone. Beautiful. I wonder if the scallops mean what I think they mean.
The good old days . . .
Beautiful details! I love the last one the most:)
Ciao! Beautiful photos! I would have enjoyed being able to watch the artisans/craftsmen creating these! Wood is such a warm medium, so full of life, more so than metal or stone.
Very interesting learning about de Larderel and the clean steam.
Saluti!
They must have been an important family!
Door details are my favorite subjects in Paris, among many other things! Yours are just wonderful . Thanks for sharing all of them as I'm sure it was too hard to choose just one!
