#2325. Ornate Art Nouveau balcony with decorative wrought iron railings on a historical facade

The photograph captures an elegant decorative balcony in the Art Nouveau style, exemplifying the fine ironwork of the late 19th to early 20th century. The balcony features the characteristic flowing lines and floral motifs typical of this architectural style.

The balcony railing consists of skillfully crafted wrought iron with a wave-like rhythm and asymmetrical patterns. Particularly noteworthy is the overhanging canopy above the balcony with its intricate lace-like ornament centered around a stylized flower. The vertical supports of the canopy are formed with spiral elements that create a sense of lightness in the structure.

The balcony is harmoniously integrated into the building's facade, which is executed in light tones with regular masonry. Window and door frames are outlined in greenish casings, creating a subtle color contrast with the main tone of the facade. The balcony door with glazing is complemented by burgundy interior curtains, which adds a sense of completeness to the composition.

This architectural element demonstrates the craftsmanship of blacksmiths of that era and illustrates how a functional building element can become a significant decorative detail that shapes the artistic appearance of the entire facade.
