Almonaster Pontalba Pin

Discover the iconic AP monogram that graced Jackson Square! This handcrafted pewter pin celebrates the legendary Pontalba galleries—those stunning cast iron masterpieces that gave New Orleans its signature charm. Designed by Gaston, son of the visionary Baroness Michaela de Pontalba, this high-polished beauty honors the architectural revolution that began in 1849. When the Upper Pontalba rose in record time (and under budget!), it sparked a citywide love affair with ornamental ironwork.
