Modernist Wrought Iron Facade: Openwork Grille with Floral Motifs in Brick Archway

#2419. Modernist Wrought Iron Facade: Openwork Grille with Floral Motifs in Brick Archway

The image showcases an exquisite example of decorative wrought iron grillwork set within an arched brick facade, executed in a modernist style with references to Catalan Art Nouveau traditions. The grille displays a complex composition of metal bars and ornamental elements.

Particularly eye-catching are the decorative elements made of light-colored metal or ceramic, fashioned as stylized plant motifs — snowflake-like or floral forms in the upper section of the structure. The lower and upper rows are adorned with alternating square elements and openwork spherical details featuring cut-through ornamental patterns.

The grille itself is framed within a brick arch with distinctive masonry, creating a contrasting combination between the rough texture of the brick and the elegant metalwork. Glass doors are visible behind the grille, indicating that this is likely an entrance to a building. The entire composition reflects an attention to detail and high-quality artistic ironwork characteristic of turn-of-the-century architecture, particularly works in the Barcelona modernist tradition.
