Decorative Ironwork Font Suggestion?

EdSaperia

I'm designing an iron gate, and the client wants lettering in it, both upper and lowercase. Can you suggest a font that would look suitable in this material? They're looking for something regal, elegant, not too decorated but somewhat "script-y" - like something you might find on the entrance to a palace, or perhaps the logotype of a fancy hotel...

Any ideas?

This simple, naïvely elegant semi-script has the right vibe for a wrought-metal sign...
