19th century

This fireplace mantel 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 from Flanders.
