Description: PLEASE read this entirely before purchasingPostage block "House with Chimeras. 1901-1903 Kyiv"The most mysterious building in Kiev, located on the street. Bankova, 10, everyone calls the House of Chimeras, but you will not find any chimeras there, because all the sculptures that adorn the facades are images of real creatures. The whimsy of the house in another - in its location, planning and, of course, decoration.Construction and finishing work began in May 1901 and was completed in 1903.The most unusual and mysterious in this house - its bizarre decoration. Why giant frogs on the roof? What kind of girls are riding on fish, which are mistakenly called mermaids?Why a duel of a panther with an eagle near the facade? Gorodetsky did not leave us any explanations, so people found the answers themselves. The interiors of the house are no less intricately decorated, but if the outside is decorated with sculptures of living beings, the inside is plaster images of killed animals.Passing Bankova Street, stop, take a closer look at this house and pay tribute to two outstanding masters - the architect Vladislav Gorodetsky, who designed this miracle, and the sculptor Elio Sala, who embodied the author's idea in cement.Lot included RARE STAMPS Ukraine "House with Chimeras. 1901-1903 Kyiv" FULL SHEET - Thank you so very much for your interest and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me anytime!
