#2258. Historical Brick Facade with Wrought Iron Grilles and Ceramic Decor

The image shows an expressive fragment of a historical brick building facade, presumably from the late 19th or early 20th century. The distinctive feature of this architectural solution is three windows protected by decorative wrought iron grilles of high artistic execution. The number "48" on the facade indicates the building's address.

The grilles demonstrate a complex geometric pattern with a square grid and decorative elements in the upper part. Particularly noteworthy is the upper decorative band of the grilles with ornamental motifs, including green ceramic inserts with floral patterns. These elements are characteristic of Art Nouveau or eclectic style with influences of neo-Gothic motifs.

The brick masonry of the facade is executed using warm terracotta-colored brick, and the lower part of the building has interesting decor made of embedded ceramic tiles. The left part of the facade is partially covered with climbing plants, giving the building an organic combination with the natural environment. The contrast between the strict geometry of the grilles, the plasticity of ornamental elements, and the texture of brickwork creates a harmonious architectural ensemble.
