For a long time in the folk architecture of the Urals, along with stone and wood, metal was widely used and. In many villages, one could find artistically processed metal construction details: forged loops of the gate and gates made in the form of long lining of a figure shape, a variety of jackets, handles, locks of locks, lace -iron lanes on chests and nasty, forged nails with large convex hats and even with curly and relief lodges. In the design of the temples, forged and leap metal was used for sieves of fences, openwork gaps on cornices and rowers on the roofs. In residential construction – on the roofs of houses, on the gates and wings – wooden carving was often combined with forged or carved lattices or skillfully sinter iron sheets. Here we can recall that the Ural iron affairs of the masters – founders, locksmiths, blacksmiths – have long been famous for their affairs throughout Russia. So, obviously, it was no coincidence that in 1703 by decree of Peter I “to the city structure” in Tikhvin and to Taganrog, it was the Solikamsky blacksmiths. The use of both propyal carvings and a blocking iron began, apparently, almost simultaneously. According to many researchers, the development paths of these tools were largely interconnected. Thus, the sample iron was usually used where the use of wooden carved decor was impractical or completely impossible: on drainage pipes and gutters, heads of chimneys, in the form of crests along the edges of the gables and skates. Together with wooden decor means, iron sampling details made up a single rich lace bothering house. “In the general composition of the ornament, carving made of different material was organically connected, sometimes it was difficult to distinguish one material from another. Iron carvings were used only in silhouette compositions on the roofs. She never went down to the walls of the log house and to the platbands “. The masters of iron affairs did not need to look for some special drawings for their protruding details. Ornamental motifs in the form of geometric shapes, solar (solar) symbols, plant compositions of leaves, wood, colors, various animals and humanoid figures were based on ancient traditions and were equally widely used in the performing of light carving and sampling.
