This Louis XVI-style fireplace is 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.
The band of this fireplace is defined by moldings forming a rectangle carved into the marble. At the center of this rectangle are multiple laurel leaves and their fruits, which separate into two asymmetrical parts and meet at their ends outside the frame to form an oval at its center. The inside of the oval is invested with a wavy, knotted ribbon. From this center, two long laurel branches extend along the sides of the band, framed by the rectangle of moldings.
The console parts of the leg are adorned with a framed floral motif, formed by acanthus leaves and a central high-relief bud. The top of the leg is curved by the presence of scrolls on the sides of the leg. The face of the leg features superimposed acanthus leaves plunging downwards. The rest of the leg is fluted and ends in a scroll. The central flute is adorned with pearls.
This fireplace is characterized by a blend of natural motifs, such as flowers and foliage, with motifs from Antiquity, such as the use of acanthus flowers, laurel crown, and column fluting. This mix is typical of the Louis XVI style, to which we can add the presence of ribbons and pearls, also characteristic of this style.
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.
