#5082. Cast Iron Openwork Facade Decoration with Floral Ornament

The image shows an exquisite fragment of a cast iron decorative element, likely part of a fence or railing. This is an excellent example of artistic casting with a floral ornament in a style that combines features of classicism and Art Nouveau. The central composition is designed as a stylized rose, from which intricate curls and volutes symmetrically extend outward. Decorative floral elements are placed along the edges, creating a balanced composition.

The cast iron piece has a rich brown color with a characteristic texture acquired from time and weathering. The fine elaboration of details demonstrates the high craftsmanship of the foundry workers. Such decorative elements were often used in 19th - early 20th century architecture for decorating building facades, balcony railings, park fences, and garden elements. These openwork metal details gave architectural objects elegance and expressiveness while simultaneously fulfilling a functional role.
