  • 19th Century Timber Fireplace Mantlepiece - George Jackson and Sons. Ltd.
    Located in London, GB
    19th Century Timber Fireplace Mantlepiece George Jackson and Sons. Ltd. A unique and rare large antique chimney piece made in wood with fine Carton-Pierre decoration, attributed and authenticated to and by George Jackson and Sons Ltd. London. This large, proportioned design is shown as a bespoke variation from an original featured design in the Jackson's historical catalogue of 1834. The opening height and jambs being adapted to a client's own specifications at the time of manufacturing. Although dated as catalogue 1834, the style is late Georgian with very a strong Robert Adams influence. The fireplace design consists of applied Carton-Pierre Acanthus Leaf pattern running across the front edge and sides of the shelf moulding above a run of dentil mouldings. This in turn is surmounting a glorious frieze of husk swags having detailed trophies either side of the main featured centre block showing a classical allegorical group flanked by elegant urns holding plentiful fruit and flowers. The mantelpiece opening is finely detailed with a fluted and patera border and the jambs are equally supported by prominent carved volutes at the foot blocks. The fireplace jambs were specifically customised, a variation at the time on order from the original drawing in the catalogue with Acanthus Leaf design to the corbels which in turn were elongated to the height of the mantel. The original opening height was also adapted creating a more horizontal feel to the entire chimney piece. George Jackson began trading from Rathbone Place near Oxford Circus in London (where this fireplace was purchased and made) At the time the Adam brothers` style of architecture and interior design was central to what became known as the age of elegance. Jackson produced reverse cut hardwood timber moulds and pressed out a new material they had brought to Britain called Composition “Compo”, as it is colloquially known, is a putty-like substance introduced to enable the production of enrichments without using the then long-established method of wood carvings. The first Royal Warrant was issued to Jacksons by George IV in 1826 This timber fireplace mantel...
