This Louis XVI-style fireplace in Arabescato marble features beaded and geometrical friezes, elements often found in the Louis XVI style.
The band of the fireplace is adorned with these friezes. The central geometric frieze is framed by a small rectangle, which in turn is framed by a larger rectangle of pearls. These two rectangular friezes cover the entire band.
On the console part of the leg, acanthus leaves are arranged to form a flower motif with its center in relief. The rest of the leg is curved, leaving places for scrolls on the sides. The face of the leg is fluted with three flutes. The central one features a motif echoing one of the band's geometrical friezes.
The fireplace is carved in Arabescato marble, a white marble veined with gray or black. It is one of the white marbles of Carrara, and its main quarries are located in the Carrara basin in Italy, at Seravezza Lucca.
This fireplace is sold with a modern cast iron insert adapted to this fireplace and with its marble floor which is broken but will be restored in our workshop.
