#5154. Art Nouveau Wooden Entrance Doors with Carved Decoration and Brass Hardware

Before us stands a magnificent example of wooden entrance doors in the Art Nouveau style. The double-leaf doors, crafted from solid wood in a rich dark brown color with prominent grain, are framed by a classic light-colored stone portal.

The decorative carvings on the door panels deserve special attention. Each door leaf is designed in a symmetrical manner with the fluid, organic lines characteristic of Art Nouveau. The upper section features stylized botanical motifs, while the central part is adorned with oval panels with deep insets. The lower section of the doors is also embellished with carved elements, creating a cohesive composition.

As both functional and decorative elements, brass door knockers in the form of rings, typical of traditional European architecture, are mounted on the doors. They create an effective contrast with the dark wood and emphasize the prestigious nature of the entrance.

The arched doorway with an elegant finishing decorative element (possibly a flower) at the top of the arch complements the overall composition and reflects the architect's attention to detail. The meticulous craftsmanship of all facade elements and the entrance group demonstrates exceptional skill and is characteristic of the Art Nouveau era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
