This charming element of architectural decor represents a fragment of an antique entrance door, crafted from dark green metal. The central feature of the composition is an elegant cat figure integrated into the upper part of the door leaf. The metallic sculpture of the cat, peering out from a semicircular opening, creates the impression of a living guardian observing visitors.
The door panel has a textured surface with vertical lines imitating wooden boards, giving the structure a sense of handcrafted workmanship and historical authenticity. The lower part of the door is equipped with traditional hardware: a substantial door handle with a decorative base and ring grip. The metal details, including hinges and fasteners, harmoniously complement the overall color scheme of the façade.
Such architectural elements were particularly popular in European architecture of the 19th and early 20th centuries, giving urban façades individuality and artistic value. This example demonstrates the high craftsmanship of metalwork and attention to detail characteristic of past artisanal traditions. The cat as a decorative element may serve not only as ornamentation but also as a symbolic guardian of the home in urban folklore.
