If there is one thing I will never get tired of, here in Brussels, it's of looking at the marvellous "sinuous lines - organic tendrils, feminine curves and floral motifs" (l.p.) from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Though it's easily becoming too much when you charge a room with furniture, doors, windows and decorative objects all in the art nouveau style (like I've recently seen in the exposition on Mr. S. Bing) the single façades, tables, cupboards have in my perception an astonishing elegance. My absolute favourites are the "intricate wrought-iron balconies" (l.p. again). They really deserve close attention: you hardly find two similar ones in the whole city, and in combining lightness and elegance with their rustical appearance they are always a feast for the eyes.
