This Louis XVI-style fireplace is adorned with a Greek frieze covering the entire band. An acanthus leaf is placed at the center of this frieze. The combination of these two motifs, corresponding to nature and Greek Antiquity, is characteristic of the Louis XVI-style. On the console parts of the legs, a flower motif is constructed by the arrangement of acanthus leaves that follow the shape of a square and its central button in relief. The top of the legs is curved, giving spaces to scrolled carvings on the sides. On the face of the leg, verticals are carved, starting thick and tapering towards the base.
Although the ornamentation on this fireplace is sober, the use of a sort of onyx makes it particularly precious, given its high cost. Indeed, onyx is rarely used for furniture but it is generally used for small size objects.
This fireplace comes with its original cast-iron interior. The interior features two identical leaf bunches on the sides and a leaf crown mixed with branches on the top.
This fireplace is sold with its original cast iron insert and with its marble floor.
