So why is it<br \/>\nthat when it comes to ironwork the\u00a0majority of people specify black?<br \/>\nThis day aims to explode the \u2018always\u00a0black\u2019 myth, explore alternatives,\u00a0and outline best practice for\u00a0discovering, conserving and\u00a0reinstating original colour schemes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preconception<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you automatically think of black as the appropriate colour for heritage ironwork?
