Art Nouveau Ceramic Façade Decoration: Floral Ornament in Glazed Tile

#4777. Art Nouveau Ceramic Façade Decoration: Floral Ornament in Glazed Tile

The photograph showcases an exquisite example of a decorative façade element executed in glazed ceramic tile technique. The vertical panel displays a refined floral ornament in Art Nouveau style, consisting of alternating yellow flower rosettes and curved green leaves on a terracotta background.

The composition includes four identical sections, each featuring a central yellow flower rosette surrounded by stylized green foliage creating a dynamic spiral pattern. The glazed surface gives the elements depth and vibrancy, contrasting with the surrounding wooden framing. This type of decorative ceramics was often used in late 19th and early 20th century architecture to embellish the façades of significant buildings.

Notably, the wooden framing shows signs of age and wear, indicating the historical value of this architectural element. A small technical opening is also visible in the lower part of the panel. Such façade details are not merely aesthetic embellishments but reflect the artistic and technological achievements of their era.
