#5965. Three-sectioned stained glass window on a brick facade in Federation Art Nouveau style

This is a beautiful example of a facade in late Victorian or Federation style with Art Nouveau elements. The central feature of the composition is an elegant three-sectioned window with stained glass, framed in wooden frames painted in dark green.

The window opening is set in a red brick wall and crowned with a small decorative awning with terracotta-colored roof tiles. Above the window is a decorative arch with a characteristic black and white checkered pattern, which gives the facade additional artistic expressiveness.

The stained glass of the window demonstrates a floral ornament typical for Art Nouveau with inclusions of red elements in the shape of drops or petals — a detail that adds a color accent and enhances the stylistic integrity of the composition. The windowsill is made of light-colored material, creating a contrast with the terracotta wall.

Special attention is drawn to the careful elaboration of details: decorative brackets supporting the awning, and the combination of straight and curved lines in the design of the window opening, characteristic of the period of transition from historicism to Art Nouveau.
