Decorative Mediterranean Façade with Polychrome Ornamentation

#4670. Decorative Mediterranean Façade with Polychrome Ornamentation

The image showcases an exquisite example of a decorative façade in Mediterranean style, likely dating from the modernist period of the early 20th century. The façade features rich ornamental design with contrasting colors—predominantly burgundy, gold, and cream.

The upper part is decorated with red brickwork arranged in panels with decorative consoles and intricate golden lattice grilles. The cornice is supported by a row of classical brackets with floral ornamentation. Below runs an ornamental frieze with repeating palmette motifs executed in burgundy and cream colors.

The lower level of the façade is adorned with elegant panels featuring floral motifs enclosed in geometric frames. Particularly striking are the burgundy panels with golden vegetal ornaments, symmetrically positioned on both sides of the central balcony. The balcony is equipped with an ornate wrought-iron railing in blue-gray color and wooden shutters, one of which is slightly open.

The entire composition reflects influences of Catalan Modernism and traditional Mediterranean architecture, with meticulous attention to ornamental details and color combinations. The façade represents a beautiful example of the synthesis between architecture and decorative arts from the beginning of the last century.
