#2408. Exquisite Art Nouveau facade with semi-circular canopy and ornamental details

The image captures a magnificent example of early 20th century Art Nouveau — an exquisite semi-circular canopy above a building entrance. The structure features characteristic Art Nouveau flowing, curved lines and an abundance of decorative elements.

The architectural composition centers around a semi-circular arch with an intricate metal framework, framed by an elegant turquoise metal profile with volute-like scrolls. Above the arch sits a decorative element featuring a cogwheel and emblem, which may indicate the building's original purpose.

On either side of the entrance, two ornate lanterns are symmetrically positioned, crafted in the same style using wrought iron and glass. Their graceful form and elaborate decoration emphasize the building's status.

The upper part of the framing contains elements of Baroque influence: shell-like molding (cartouche) and red inserts that create a color accent against the light-colored sandstone or limestone facade. The combination of various materials — stone, metal, and glass — is characteristic of the eclectic architecture from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries.
