Decorative Cast Iron Facade Brackets in 19th Century Historicism Style

#1924. Decorative Cast Iron Facade Brackets in 19th Century Historicism Style

The image showcases magnificent wrought iron metal brackets supporting an architectural element, likely an awning or a balcony. These decorative cast iron consoles are executed in the historicism or eclectic style of the late 19th century.

Each bracket has a triangular shape and is richly adorned with ornamental details. The upper diagonal part is decorated with a row of floral rosettes (daisies), while the inner part contains an elegant floral medallion with a stylized plant motif. The brackets terminate in hanging elements shaped like stylized acanthus leaves, which gives them particular refinement.

Especially noteworthy is the elaboration of details: volute-shaped curls, interwoven ornaments, and openwork carving demonstrate high mastery of foundry work. The light wall behind the brackets creates a striking contrast with the dark metal, emphasizing the silhouettes and depth of the decorative elements.

Such architectural details were characteristic of urban mansions and public buildings during the period of architectural historicism, when special attention was paid to decorativeness and artistic expressiveness even in functional elements of the facade.
