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