Elegant Historical Portal with Wooden Door: Textural Contrast and Neoclassical Facade Decoration

#1933. Elegant Historical Portal with Wooden Door: Textural Contrast and Neoclassical Facade Decoration

The image displays an exquisite entrance portal of a historic building, number 101, executed in an eclectic style with neoclassical elements. The portal is framed by a monumental stone casing made of light-colored stone with rich decorative ornamentation.

The door structure is a double-leaf wooden door made of natural wood in a warm amber shade. The architectural solution of the door is characterized by an arched top and symmetrical composition. Each leaf is divided into several panels with geometric patterns — square ones at the top, rectangular in the middle, and diamond-shaped at the bottom, with circular bronze door knockers positioned at their centers.

The upper part of the door features semicircular glazed elements with forged decorations in the form of elegant floral motifs. Particular attention is drawn to the luxurious stone doorframe with an expressive keystone and acanthus leaves as a decorative element above the arch. The side parts of the framing are adorned with pilasters and finely crafted capitals featuring plant ornaments.

The textural combination of the smooth stone doorframe and the textured stucco facade creates an interesting contrast, emphasizing the monumentality of the composition. The number sign "101" in blue execution harmoniously fits into the overall composition of the facade. In general, the portal demonstrates high craftsmanship and attention to detail, characteristic of respectable urban architecture of the 19th - early 20th century.
