#4678. Art Nouveau in Detail: Facade with Horseshoe Arch and Decorative Wooden Door

Before us is a beautiful example of early 20th century Art Nouveau - a wooden double-leaf entrance door. The door is framed by an exquisite brick horseshoe-shaped arch, typical for this architectural style. The building facade features an interesting combination of multicolored brickwork - yellow, red, and brown shades, creating a picturesque polychromatic effect.

The door itself is made of solid wood in a warm brown tone with decorative elements in the form of curved lines characteristic of Art Nouveau. The upper part of each door leaf is adorned with glass inserts protected by wrought iron grilles with flowing botanical motifs. These inserts have the shape of stylized hearts or leaves - organic forms typical of Art Nouveau aesthetics. Above the door is a semicircular transom window that fits into the overall arched composition of the portal.

On the facade to the left of the door, building numbers 20-29 are visible, which may indicate that this is an apartment building or a structure with multiple units. The architectural solution of the entrance group demonstrates attention to detail and a desire to create a unified artistic image where functionality is combined with aesthetics.
