#916. Elegant facade with turquoise shutters and decorative stucco

The image showcases an exquisite architectural element in Art Nouveau or Eclectic style – a balcony window with rich decorative framing. The facade is made of light-colored stone or stucco with an imitation of masonry, creating an elegant and textured background.

Above the window opening, there is luxurious stucco decoration with floral motifs characteristic of the Art Nouveau style – scrolls, floral elements, and acanthus leaves forming a lush composition. This decorative element serves as a kind of cornice, emphasizing the significance of the architectural detail.

Of particular note are the turquoise wooden shutters with openwork metal decoration in the upper part. This color accent creates a vivid contrast with the neutral tone of the facade. The shutters are executed in a traditional Mediterranean or Southern European manner.

The balcony is enclosed by elegant wrought iron railings with an intricate ornament, highlighting the status of the building and attention to detail. The combination of wrought metal, turquoise wood, and light facade forms a harmonious composition characteristic of late 19th – early 20th century architecture.
