| Description |
Railing designed for the Cleveland Playhouse, on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Martin Rose (1870-1955) was born Mór Rosenblüh in Csepe, Hungary. He left home at the age of 10 and moved in with an older brother, who ran a store in a small village nearby. Between the ages of 13 and 17, he apprenticed with an ironsmith. He then moved to Budapest where his outstanding skills got him a job with Jungfer, the premier ironwork shop in the city. He opened his own shop in 1897, but emigrated to America in 1903. He landed in Cleveland, Ohio, which had both a major Hungarian community and a massive iron and steel industry. Anglicizing his name to Martin Rose, he established the Rose Iron Works in 1904. Initially, Rose Iron Works focused on Medieval designs from Europe, and fashioned not only commercial but fine art work. In the late 1920s, Rose Iron Works hired the famous Art Deco ironmaster Paul Fehér (also a Hungarian). Together, they made some of the finest Art Deco metalwork produced in the United States. Rose’s three sons, Stephen, Milton, and Melvin, took over management, production, and design of the firm about 1940. Rose Iron Works made military hardware during World War II. In the post-war period, the company continued to make industrial products, with fine art work occurring only infrequently. This wrought-iron and brass railing, made about 1927, is French Rococco Revival in design.
