Maison Bacot, Art Nouveau building in Liège, Belgium.

The three-story Maison Bacot features sixteen sgraffito decorations depicting red baskets of orange fruits and vine shoots emerging from blue amphoras throughout its facade.

Constructed in 1922 by architect Clément Pirnay, Maison Bacot represents the transition period between Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles following World War I.

The facade's extensive sgraffito artwork makes it one of the few buildings in Belgium to showcase this decorative technique across its entire exterior surface.

Located at 42 Rue Dartois at the intersection with Rue des Guillemins, the ground floor maintains its original commercial purpose while upper floors display architectural details.

The building's concrete facade incorporates pyramid-topped blue columns and a wrought iron arrow crown above the 'Maison Gentry' inscription at its summit.
