The image showcases an exquisite example of artistic metalwork—a wrought iron balcony railing in the Art Nouveau style. This forged iron balustrade features fluid, organic lines characteristic of this early 20th-century style. Its composition is symmetrical, with elegant plant motifs featuring leaves and floral elements extending outward from a central element in both directions.
Particularly noteworthy is the plasticity of the metal which, despite its naturally rigid nature, appears light and flowing. The pattern of the railing resembles stylized flowers and stems, creating the impression of a delicate garden. The dark color of the metal contrasts with the beige façade wall and white balcony base, emphasizing the expressiveness of the forged pattern.
Behind the railing, dark green shutters or blinds are visible, creating an additional rhythmic pattern and depth to the composition. This is a beautiful example of how a functional building element can be transformed into a genuine work of art, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of its era.
