#2423. Decorative Art Nouveau Wrought Iron Balcony on a Historic Facade

The image showcases an elegant architectural element of a facade in Art Nouveau style — a decorative wrought iron balcony on a light-colored building wall. The metal balcony railing features characteristic flowing, wave-like lines and intricate curvilinear patterns typical of this style. Particularly noteworthy is the lower part of the balcony, adorned with an ornamental panel featuring elegant spiral motifs in orange and a central mosaic insert.

Below the balcony sits a window with an exquisite frame, also executed in Art Nouveau style. The window opening has a smooth, undulating shape in its upper section and is decorated with wrought iron elements that echo the design of the balcony railing. Above the window, there is a decorative panel with initials or symbols, characteristic of the individualized ornamentation of Art Nouveau period buildings.

The building facade is further embellished with fine ornamental friezes and textured elements, creating a rich interplay of light and shadow. Behind the balcony railing, wooden louvered shutters are visible, adding a Mediterranean character to the building. Together, these elements represent an excellent example of early 20th century architectural decoration, where functional elements are transformed into works of decorative art.
