Mosaic Facade Number Plaque with Wrought Iron Frame

#2384. Mosaic Facade Number Plaque with Wrought Iron Frame

This architectural element represents a decorative mosaic house number plaque displaying "32", skillfully executed in mosaic technique. The plaque is framed by a wrought iron metallic frame with characteristic volute-like curls, creating an elegant ornamental pattern around the central element.

The mosaic itself is rendered in warm ochre tones with contrasting dark blue and white framing. The number "32" is depicted with white tesserae (mosaic elements) against a golden-orange background, creating a bright visual accent on the building facade. A decorative border of alternating dark blue and golden squares runs along the perimeter of the mosaic panel, followed by a white edging that gives the composition completeness.

This element of facade decoration is characteristic of the European architectural tradition of the late 19th - early 20th century, when special attention was paid even to such utilitarian details as number signs. The wrought iron frame with symmetrical curls reflects the influence of Art Nouveau style with its flowing, organic forms. The plaque is organically integrated into the light plastered surface of the facade, creating a striking contrast of textures and materials.
