Dimensions
Width 52'' ⅜  133cm
Height 54''   137cm
Depth: 16'' ⅛  41cm

Origin:
19th century

This fireplace mantel uses the molding and the two spandrels in relief under the entablature of the Louis XIV rounded mantel. It is crowned by an acroterion, shaped like a pedestal and decorated with fluting across the front and sides and acanthus leaves at both ends of the entablature. An acroterion was originally a decorative element that adorned the pediment of buildings in Antique architecture. Antique architectural vocabulary was a strong reference used by architects and decorators in the 18th century to create new ornamental shapes. Because of its strong classical influence, this model was found in all the 19th century marble mason catalogues. The marble used here is Red Griotte from Belgium.

This fireplace is sold with its original enamelled insert. The marble floor is not available but can be made to order.
