18th Century Style English White Hand-Carved Carved Marble Fireplace Mantel
About the Item
This unique fireplace produced under license from marble hill house, the great room. This large, imposing chimney-piece is based on a lavish design dating from circa 1729. Inspired by the work of the 17th century architect and stage designer Inigo Jones, It was conceived as a theatrical flourish in a relatively Sober Palladian villa. Hand-carved from premium-quality imperial white statuary marble, the surround is a test of a master stone-carver's skill, featuring as it does a female mask at the centre of the frieze and exquisite detailing on the corbels and jambs.

- 18th Century Bossi Hand-Carved Statuary Marble Fireplace with Scagliola InlayBy Pietto BossiLocated in London, GBThis white hand-carved marble chimney-piece with Scagliola inlay and break fronted shelf attributed to Pietro Bossi who is known to have worked in Dublin from 1785-1798. Not much is known about Pietro Bossi, although much inlay work of the late 18th century is commonly known as`Bossi-work'. An Italian craftsman, Bossi worked in Dublin from 1785-1798 and used colored marble inlay and also a colored paste inlay, known as Scagliola, on a white marble ground. His designs are in the neoclassical style, a style disseminated by Robert Adam in 1770s. Bossi`s process was a closely guarded secret and was apparently carried out behind closed doors. Although, there were other craftsmen producing this type of work, the present chimney-piece can be attributed to Bossi because it shares some distinctive decoration with other pieces strongly believed to be by him. The overall style is typical of Bossi. This unique marble fireplace mantel-piece is believed to originate from a wing of Huntroyde Hall...Category
