#4099. Carved wooden façade with zoomorphic consoles in Neo-Russian style

The image captures a magnificent example of traditional Russian wooden architecture with rich carvings and decorative elements. The façade of the building demonstrates typical features of the Neo-Russian style, characteristic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Particularly eye-catching are the expressive carved figures of griffins or mythical birds serving as bracket-consoles. These zoomorphic elements with stylized bird heads and lion bodies create a distinctive silhouette of the façade, emphasizing its horizontal lines.

The wooden façade is adorned with exceptional carving craftsmanship: both geometric patterns and floral motifs with scrolls and grape clusters are visible on the vertical elements. The roof overhangs are decorated with openwork valances. The log texture of the wall combines with decorative panels and appliqué elements, creating a multi-layered structure of the façade.

The color scheme emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood, where various shades of brown contrast with green accents, creating a polychromy traditional for Russian wooden architecture.
