#4705. Art Nouveau marble facade with floral ornamentation

The image showcases an exquisite architectural decorative element that demonstrates the aesthetics of Art Nouveau or early Modern style. The composition consists of several levels of decorative finishes. The upper part features an elegant ornamental frieze in green and pink color scheme with characteristic floral motifs resembling stylized tulips and curls.

The lower section is crafted from marble with a natural gray-white veined pattern. On the marble surface, delicate floral compositions are skillfully engraved, framed in geometric shapes. Two symmetrical decorative elements are visible on the sides, with a central element featuring a floral motif.

Of particular note is the fine work on the marble, where the engravings are highlighted, possibly with gilding or silver, creating an elegant contrast with the natural texture of the stone. This level of detail and combination of materials is characteristic of facades of prestigious buildings from the late 19th to early 20th century, when natural materials were combined with skilled handcraftsmanship.
