Carrara Marble Louis XVI mantel - marble
Carrara Marble Louis XVI mantel (Reference 1555)
Description
This Louis XVI style mantel follows the model of the oak leaf mantel with the oak leaves tumbling typically down over the console jambs. The jambs are adorned with flute-like molding, the central one is filleted with a swirling ribbon motif. The heads are square rosettes, an ornament widely popular in the Louis XVI style. The rectangular molded panels of the entablature are garnished with a frieze of pearls and flank a central oval rosette. The quality of the Carrara marble beautifully enhances the design.
