Open and flowing residential railing on the island of Jamaica, reflecting the Chinese/Jamaican heritage of the family.
At the newel base of the railing as in Chinese symbolism, the Crane represents longevity, immortality and wisdom, while the Lotus represents enlightenment, beauty and purity.
Meaningful elements appear throughout the railing.

The Jamaica Railing begins at the top with a Sun rise, rays of light penetrating lofty clouds and reaching plant forms below — all influenced by the style of the embroidery on historic silk Chinese Imperial Robes done with gold and silver threads.
Mid railing plant forms appear such as the Peony, revered in China as “King of the Flowers”, symbolic of nobility, beauty, and prosperity.
On one step to greet you is a diminutive Mandarin Duck, symbolizing not only Beauty but Love and Fidelity.
