I love these cast iron Juliet balconies on the 1837 Georgian townhouses on Newton Place in Glasgow. The central Palmette or palm frond originates in Ancient Egyptian architecture and was widely used by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and other Classical Glasgow architects of the nineteenth century.

Decorative metalwork on the Albert Bridge in Glasgow. Built in 1868 to a design by Bell and Miller, it's the only substantial wrought-iron arched bridge in Scotland.

Decorative ironwork and lamp above the door of 81 Parnie Street in Glasgow.

I love finding original bits of metalwork like this, however they're getting harder and harder to find as more and more of then get damaged and lost over time.
