Before us stands a magnificent example of an Art Nouveau carved wooden door, created approximately at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. This massive four-panel door is crafted from dark wood, likely oak, with intricate carvings and decorative metalwork.
The door portal is arched, framed by light-colored stone that creates a striking contrast with the rich brown tones of the wooden elements. The upper section of the door is adorned with openwork carvings featuring plant motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau and decorative rosettes.
Particularly noteworthy is the metalwork on the glass inserts – elegant wrought iron grilles with flowing, curvilinear forms typical of the Art Nouveau style. Each of the eight glass panels (four in the upper row and four in the middle row) is framed by metal patterns with elements of floral ornamentation.
The lower part of the door is finished with vertical panels, giving the structure additional rigidity and visual completeness. It's notable that through the glass inserts, one can glimpse the interior of the building, including a staircase, indicating this is a grand entrance.
This door represents an excellent example of the high craftsmanship of the Art Nouveau era, when functionality merged with exquisite decorative elements and the aspiration to create a holistic artistic image.
