This time start a new topic that I find interesting and I may take several days.
These portals, and most significantly, the ornaments that adorn some of the doors of the buildings between Balmes Street and the Paseo de San Juan in Barcelona.Esa area coincides with what is known as L-Dreta 'Eixample or Right Ensanche.Corresponde also largely famous Quadrat d 'Or, the golden square, that is, the most important in buildings of great singularity arquitectónica.Plagada of great works of modernism etc.Corresponde also the first major embodiments of Cerdá plan for the expansion of the city beyond its walls, which had just disappeared.
The ornamentation of the doors, these beautiful items of bronze or polished brass, from the beginning had a practical purpose intrínseca.En some cases are handles, other door handles, knockers, knockers, so useful to call a story system of "knocks" but to "touch and peals" depending on the plant floor to which llamara.No forget that for a good number of years these buildings have no electricity ... Over time, the janitors and porters figure has decreased dramatically and the intercom, but beautifully decorated in many cases, there has been some imprescindible.En cases this has meant detract from or undermine the original beauty of these doors, lobbies, hallways and goals, but in many cases have learned to respect and restore to its original aesthetic.
Unfortunately too, the plundering, theft, especially on weekends, have been constant in recent años.Se have brought the beautiful doors all original fittings and lamps and sconces casas.Es halls of why I have included a picture of a shop that specializes in the supply of this beautiful and useful products.
