#2522. Art Nouveau Arched Façade Element from 1904

The image showcases an exquisite architectural detail — an arched doorway in the Art Nouveau style, dated 1904, as clearly indicated in the central part of the architrave. The frame is made of light-colored stone or stucco with fine elaboration of decorative elements.

The arch features smooth, flowing lines characteristic of Art Nouveau, creating a sense of movement and organic quality. Particularly noteworthy is the decorative ornamentation: stylized floral motifs with pronounced petals are placed at the upper corners and at the base of the arch. The fluid, intertwining lines resemble plant stems, which is a typical technique of the early 20th century Art Nouveau style.

The central part above the arch is adorned with the date "1904," allowing for precise determination of the construction period and associating the element with the flourishing of Art Nouveau in European architecture. Through the arched opening, an interior space with vegetation is visible, creating an interesting contrast between the architectural form and natural elements.

This façade element demonstrates the high quality of stone or plasterwork typical of the period when handcraftsmanship and attention to detail were integral parts of the architectural process.
