CEILING PAINTINGS

Hall 1: The painted decoration of the space consists of a simple neoclassical ceiling painting, inspired by nature. Red roses, framed subtly, create a repeating pattern in tones of beige, light olive, pink, and dark red. The motif features curved lines forming the impression of a four-leaf clover, which is inscribed within four successive decorative bands. Inside each leaf of the clover, smaller leaf-shaped motifs give the impression of an acroterion. Between the four leaves, curved shapes evoke the theme of a crown. In the center of each clover and within a dark red frame, there is a rose with a small white circle and small isosceles triangles around it. The upper part of the walls features a decorative painted zone, where the pattern is repeated sequentially.
The name of the creator of this ceiling painting, as well as that of the other decorations in the building, could not be found in our search. Their dating is estimated to be in the years immediately following the building’s construction, and certainly before the late 19th century.

Halls 2 & 3: The neoclassical ceiling painting of Hall 2 features primarily geometric patterns composed of zigzag lines, meanders, circles, and ellipses, while red stars in the center enhance its flatness. The ceiling background is light beige, and all the designs are executed in shades of beige, white, green, and baked sienna. The upper part of the walls is decorated with a repeated pattern of the meander motif.
In the decorative painting of the continuous space (Hall 3), a more romantic mood is evident, blending floral and animal motifs in shades of olive, with the dominant shapes being curved lines and the depiction of a swan; a composition that embodies all the characteristics of Art Nouveau. The upper part of the walls features eight idealistic landscapes with animal motifs, framed by floral and geometric patterns.

Hall 4: The painted decoration follows the neoclassical style, primarily inspired by nature. Flowers, rosettes, curves, and zigzag lines shape the ceiling painting, with dominant colors being soft beige, light olive, blue, raw and baked sienna, pink, white, and gradations of gray. In the center of the ceiling, a rosette with shadowing creates the illusion of relief. On the upper part of the walls, a painted zone repeats the geometric pattern with shadowing effects, producing the illusion of three-dimensionality.
