#4095. Exquisite carved facade of a Siberian wooden mansion with hexagonal bay window

The image showcases an exquisite example of wooden architecture with rich carving and decorative elements. At the center of the facade stands an expressive hexagonal bay window crowned with an elegant dome-shaped top featuring a greenish roof and a spire. The bay window demonstrates characteristic features of Siberian architectural tradition from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The facade displays impressive openwork white carvings that contrast with the dark wooden base. Particularly noteworthy is the multi-tiered ornamental decoration of the cornice with valances and pediment elements. The window openings are framed with elegant casings featuring rich volumetric carvings, including floral motifs and geometric patterns. Decorative panels with carved cartouches are positioned beneath the windows.

The contrast between the wooden log structure, brick plinth, and snow-white trim creates a polychromatic effect characteristic of Russian Art Nouveau. The window frames feature frequent lattice patterns, typical for architecture of this period. Overall, the building represents an outstanding example of carved wooden decor, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship of folk artisans and reflecting the distinctive aesthetics of Russian provincial architecture.
