Scrollwork

 

Scrollwork is a decorative design element characterized by intricate, scrolling patterns typically found in metalwork, woodwork, and various forms of ornamental art. These designs often mimic the curves and twists of natural forms, such as vines or waves, and are used to embellish objects like gates, railings, furniture, and architectural details. Scrollwork can range from simple and elegant to highly complex, featuring elaborate twists, curls, and flourishes. It has been a prominent feature in art and design for centuries, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to various creations.
