#2329. Arched Facade with Floral Ornamentation and Wrought Iron Elements

The image showcases an elegant arched doorway in Art Nouveau or early Eclectic style, integrated into a facade made of light limestone or marble. Of particular note is the semicircular arch with decorative framing, where white stylized floral motifs are arranged in a regular rhythmic pattern against a red-burgundy background. This element creates a striking decorative accent on the otherwise neutral building facade.

The opening is protected by an elegant wrought iron gate, demonstrating the mastery of artistic metalwork. The upper part of the gate features delicate openwork ornament with wave-like elements, while the lower section has a denser structure with vertical bars. The combination of functionality (protective purpose) and decorative quality in this facade element is noteworthy.

To the left on the facade, the number "19" is visible, presumably indicating the building number. The overall composition of the entrance reflects the architectural approach of the early 20th century, when special attention was paid to details and decorative design of even utilitarian elements in urban buildings.
