#5650. Carved wooden facade: Russian window frame with openwork carving

The image showcases a magnificent example of traditional Russian wooden architecture — a window frame with elaborate wood carving. The facade demonstrates exceptional woodworking craftsmanship characteristic of Russian wooden architecture. The window is framed by an intricate pattern of wooden lacework, executed in warm honey-golden tones.

The composition of the window frame includes a massive cornice with a semicircular top, adorned with openwork carving. Vertical elements with geometric patterns, predominantly featuring circles, diamonds, and floral motifs, are positioned on both sides of the window. The contrast between the white-painted carved elements and the warm wooden background creates a visual rhythm and emphasizes the complexity of the ornament.

The upper part of the facade is decorated with a frieze featuring a repeating pattern in green and black tones, which complements the overall composition and gives it completeness. This is a beautiful example of rural architecture where a functional element — the window opening — is transformed into a true work of art, demonstrating the richness of folk traditions and the aesthetic sensibility of the craftsmen.
