The Cruz de Cerrajería (the locksmith’s cross) (Seville): materials, degradation process and restoration methodology
The Cruz de Cerrajería is a wrought-iron cross forged in 1692 by the master locksmith Sebastián Conde. Its exposure to environmental elements, its structural characteristics and the inappropriate application of superimposed coats of paint have given rise to severe degradation due to corrosion.
