#2402. Forged gate facade with peacock motif

The gate fragment presented in the image demonstrates the high craftsmanship of artistic metalwork. The upper arched part of the gate is adorned with exquisite metal decor, where the central motif features symmetrically arranged peacock figures, skillfully integrated into an ornamental composition of intricate forged elements.

Particular attention is drawn to the detailed depiction of the birds, executed with careful elaboration of the feather texture. The metal embossing technique creates an interplay of light and shadow on the surface of the decorative elements. The compositional structure of the arch is emphasized by a rhythmic pattern along the perimeter.

The lower part of the gate is designed with a geometric lattice pattern, built on the intersection of horizontal and vertical metal bars, forming a mirror-symmetrical design. The contrast between the lavish decor of the upper part and the strict geometry of the lower part creates a harmonious balance in the composition.

The gate serves as an excellent example of the synthesis of functionality and decorativeness, where technical mastery of execution combines with the aesthetics of artistic design, characteristic of the traditions of artistic metalwork.
