This Regency period fireplace is carved in Sarrancolin Ilhet, a marble quarried near the village of Ilhet in the Hautes-Pyrénées. Sarrancolin Ilhet is a variety of Sarrancolin marble with predominantly grayish-brown colors. On this fireplace, there is no distinct separation between the band and the legs, but rather a continuity of surface and motifs. This continuity is reflected in the moldings: a curved molding defines the lower contour of the fireplace and a straight molding determines the surface of the fireplace, in which two triangles are placed. Both the inner molding and the mantelpiece are curved, a feature often found in the Regency style. The fireplace’s symmetry also reinforces its harmony.
This fireplace is sold with its original cast iron insert and with its marble floor.
