The lattice in Post 1 was from Powerscourt Town House, off Grafton Street. We had coffee there and enjoyed sitting outside inside. Doesn’t make sense? A 1774 town house has been restored and converted to house more than 60 boutiques, and the original open courtyard has been covered in glass and steel – home of the café.

This second lattice is the least conventional of the ones I have photographed in that it is not a repeated sequence. This is so clearly handforged and just beautiful in its own right. I’ll let you know tomorrow where I found it.
