This architectural element represents a magnificent example of an oriel window in Neo-Renaissance or Neo-Baroque style. The oriel is crafted with remarkable attention to detail and demonstrates high mastery of stone carving. Positioned at the corner of the building's brick facade, it creates a dynamic architectural accent and increases the space of the interior room.
Note the rich ornamental decoration: carved columns on the sides of the window, elaborate floral garlands on the parapet, and a mascaron (decorative sculpted mask) at the bottom of the structure. The conical roof of the oriel with decorative turquoise-tinted tiles stands out particularly, adding a bright accent to the entire composition.
The console part of the oriel has a characteristic stepped shape that visually creates a "floating" effect of the structure. This technique was often used in urban architecture of the late 19th - early 20th century to create expressive facade designs that gave buildings individuality and status.
Such details can be adapted for modern private construction – using oriels not only increases the usable area of the house but also creates an expressive architectural appearance. Decorative elements can be executed in a more restrained manner while maintaining the basic idea – creating a protruding volume with an expressive finish.
