Fine black Belgium marble mantel in the Empire style from the 19th century. Powerful lion paw jambs resting on end blocks rise up to a deep scroll draped with acanthus leaves. They support an entablature decorated with a geometrical frieze of carved squares and diamonds. The highly architectural design is enhanced by the choice of Belgium black marble with its deep homogeneous hue upon which light plays.
