Crafted in Carrara marble, this Louis XV–style fireplace displays a white tone lightly veined with grey, characteristic of this material. The finely polished marble highlights the richness of the carvings and the refinement of the lines.
The entablature adopts a sinuous form, with a central panel adorned with a large carved shell. This is framed by scrolls of acanthus leaves and floral bouquets including roses and daisies, all finely executed. The curved lines of the panel flow harmoniously into the jambs, emphasising the arbalest-shaped opening of the hearth, a hallmark of the Louis XV style.
The jambs, curved and carved in high relief, are decorated at their upper section with a large inverted shell accompanied by flower garlands. The lower section is adorned with large acanthus leaves, accentuating the vertical thrust of the composition. The shelf, slightly overhanging in form, follows the sinuous movement of the whole.
The cast iron interior is decorated with floral motifs and rocaille cartouches, echoing the ornamental spirit of the façade. The whole demonstrates precise carving work and a balanced composition, typical of creations in the Louis XV style.
This fireplace is sold with its original cast iron insert but without any marble floor. This one could be made to order (please ask for marble availability).
