White marble mantel with lion paw feet
Dimensions
Width 54'' ⅜ 138cm
Height 42'' ½ 108cm
Depth: 15'' ¾ 40cm
Origin:
19th century
Status:
There are rust stains (see pictures) and marks on the shalf that cannot be hidden. One of the lions paws was very well restored (picture 10).
This white marble mantel is a rich example of Empire style designs. The shelf rests on large and powerful lion paw jambs that rise up to falling acanthus leaves topped by square rosettes. The center of the entablature is adorned with geometrical motifs carved in relief: with a diamond shape at the center flanked with panels.
An inner frame completes this composition.
The diamond shape used in the Empire style was originally an element of the Directoire style.
