Abstract

During the period of 1920 - 1945, under the initiation of French architects, among whom was Ernest Hébrard as the pioneer, the Indochinese architectural style began to emerge in Hanoi. In the architectural works with Indochinese style, the wrought iron decorations with origins in Western classical and Eastern traditional styles were combined flexibly and vividly. From here, wrought iron decorations with Vietnamese characteristics had the opportunity to flourish on architecture, becoming one of the main factors that make the uniqueness of this decorative art form.
