#2584. Art Nouveau Wooden Facade: Carved Portal with Floral Motifs

This photograph showcases an exquisite example of a decorative wooden door executed in the Art Nouveau style. The door features rich woodcarving and elegant ornamental details. The entrance portal is framed by a light-colored stone surround with the flowing, sinuous lines characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture.

The massive double-leaf door is crafted from dark wood with an expressive grain pattern and has a complex composition of multiple panels. Each door leaf is adorned with sophisticated carved details featuring botanical motifs and wave-like elements, typical of early 20th century Art Nouveau aesthetics. Particularly noteworthy are the spiral patterns and floral elements harmoniously integrated into the door's structure.

The architectural framing of the portal deserves special attention: the upper section is finished with a stone crown featuring floral bas-reliefs and decorative star elements. Above the door sits a semi-circular transom window with ornamental ironwork that allows light into the interior. The combination of natural wood with stone detailing creates a harmonious contrast of materials and textures, characteristic of high-quality Art Nouveau architecture.

The door hardware, including metal handles and keyhole, is also part of the overall artistic concept, complementing the general composition of the entrance group. The entire structure demonstrates the virtuoso craftsmanship of both stonemasons and woodcarvers who created this outstanding architectural element.
