Publication: Madrid, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 1963

Formatting: 4to, pp. 320, plus 122 b/w plates.

Condition Report: Good. This volume has been firmly rebound in a durable maroon library buckram, with bright gilt titling and a classification number to the spine. The boards exhibit faint surface marks, light rubbing, and minor shelf-wear to the extremities, yet the binding remains structurally tight and square. As an ex-library copy, it features a 'Liverpool Public Libraries' circular stamp and a discreet registration number to the title page verso. The internal text-block remains remarkably clean and bright.

Catalogue Note: First Edition. This comprehensive study was published under the sponsorship of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. It is extensively illustrated, featuring 122 black-and-white plates that visually catalog the region's historic metalwork.

This specific copy presents in a secondary institutional binding. The ex-library provenance from the Liverpool Public Libraries is modestly documented on the title verso, ensuring the primary text remains unmarred by heavy institutional stamping. First editions of this specialist work are scarce on the open market, particularly in the UK.

El arte del hierro en Galicia (The Art of Ironwork in Galicia) provides a scholarly and visually rich examination of the region's historic blacksmithing and decorative metalwork. Authored by Amelia Gallego de Miguel, this exhaustive volume traces the evolution of ironwork across Galician architecture and daily life. Supported by over a hundred photographic plates, it stands as an essential reference for architectural historians, conservationists, and enthusiasts of traditional Spanish craftsmanship.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
