#1982. Elegant Art Nouveau balcony facade with nautical motif

The photograph depicts an exquisite balcony module, characteristic of Art Nouveau or eclectic architecture from the early 20th century. The facade is crafted from light-colored stone, creating an elegant contrast with its decorative elements.

The balcony is supported by massive brackets with volutes, which are repeated in the upper part of the framing. Particularly expressive is the decorative treatment of the stone framing around the balcony opening, featuring a central seashell motif – a classic element frequently used in Art Nouveau and neoclassical architecture.

The window opening is equipped with green louvered shutters, which bring a Mediterranean flair to the overall composition. The wrought iron balcony railing demonstrates an elegant filigree pattern with characteristic curves typical of artistic metalwork from the Art Nouveau period.

The combination of massive stone decorations and lightweight metal lattice creates an expressive interplay of textures and forms, emphasizing the building's status and the craftsmanship of its creators. This is an excellent example of urban architecture that has preserved the original artistic solution of the facade.
