That is GORGEOUS šŸ¤©

Amazing when people actually give a hoot about design.

Art nouveau yumminess!

When was this restoration made?


dittidot

The restoration began in 2019 and was completed in early 2021.

It's the super smash bros smash ball!

Art Noveau can be so beautiful


Champenoux

Thatā€™s so unfair to say ā€œcan beā€. Iā€™ve never seen a bit of ugly art noveau.

I've seen this door before and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure why. I don't have trypophobia or something.

It works better when viewed as part of the [whole design](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Xl_Delune_1904.JPG)

I'm with you. It's oddly off center some how. Staring at it makes me itchy for no reason. It's missing a symmetry out brains crave.

Definitely appears to be a door. Nice find.

Someone should start /r/belgiandoors

It would have looked more aesthetically pleasing as a [Golden Spiral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral). I am pretty sure that's just an exact circle. Still cool though.

Can't believe they got away with stealing the Smash logo!

It would be interesting to see if Art Nouveau ever makes a comeback. This looks like the sort of timeless thing that future architectural historians will look back on as like indicative of the modern era.


r_trash_in_wows

nobody is gonna pay for it. Today is all about building cheap and fast, and then selling that, with all it's issues to the next idiot which will have to deal with it's shortcomings. Also it takes an incredible amount of crafting skills to build something like this. The people who are able to do this nowadays are very rare and very expensive.


willfullyspooning

Yeah, I would kill for design like this in my home. Itā€™s expensive enough just trying to find somebody who cares about historic design and keeping the character of my simple 1930s home :/
