#2253. Art Nouveau Arched Facade with Ornate Metal Grille in Brick Framing

The image showcases a magnificent Art Nouveau arched window framed by warm brick-red masonry. This architectural element demonstrates the characteristic early 20th century combination of functionality and decorative sophistication.

The window has a semi-circular shape and is set within a deep niche with an arched top formed by radially arranged bricks. Particular attention is drawn to the metal grille with its rich geometric ornamentation. The upper part of the grille features an intricate pattern where metal elements form a radial composition with a star-shaped center and decorative floral motifs evenly distributed around the circumference.

The lower section of the window is designed more conservatively, with vertical metal elements and geometric ornamentation. This contrast between the elaborate top and the restrained bottom creates an elegant balance in the overall composition. The illumination visible behind the frosted glass highlights the delicacy of the metalwork.

The brick framing demonstrates mastery of masonry with alternating rows creating architectural relief. This is an excellent example of how functional facade elements in the early last century were transformed into works of decorative applied art.
