Louis XIV style fireplace from the second half of the 19th century carved in green marble from the Alpes. Supported by a pair of molded jambs, this fireplace features a curved entablature and wide spandrels decorated with panels in relief. The entablature copies the same bold and subtle lines of the fireplace.
The marble here is a beautiful Green Alpes marble also called Maurin Green that was quarried in the 19th century. It was used in the Invalides in Paris for Napoleon’s tomb.
This fireplace is sold without any insert or hearth, but they can be made to order.
