1880s Hand Carved Gothic Carrara Marble Fireplace Mantel with Griffins and Urns
About the Item
This late 1800s Gothic style fireplace mantel is made of carved gray Carrara marble that has been painted tan to appear as if this piece is actually made of wood. In the center of the apron, a face sits inside a medallion, flanked to the left and right by griffons. Above each jamb is a floral motif in a square frame. Directly below, an urn filled with floral carvings sits above each plinth, and these carvings climb toward the floral motif at the top. The tiered marble shelf is underscored by egg and dart detail. It was reclaimed from a private residence at 132 East 71st Street, Manhattan. The mantel is in very good condition with no breaks. The actual color of the marble can be seen in a small unpainted area at the top of the right-side panel. The fire screen is not included. Pictured still installed, kindly confirm condition before purchasing. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.

Louis XV Hand Carved French Marble Mantel Rouge Royale
Located in New York, NY
Rich oxblood with white, gray and eggplant veining, this marble mantel was imported from Europe by Danny Alessandro & Edwin Jackson Mantel Company and carved out of rouge royale - a marble characterized by the presence of white calcite veins. In his Dictionary of Trade and Industry, Blanqui described this marble as, "This marble with a red background, mixed with white, and sometimes blue, is extracted in the town of Franchimont, near Philippeville, in the province of Namur. In all the Belgium marbles it is the one that was most frequently used in the decoration of monuments : in the palace of Versailles, the Louvre, Palais Royal, and in many other public and private buildings."
This piece epitomizes the emerging design aesthetics of the Louis XV period characterized by curved forms, lightness, and comfort. True to its time period, minimal lines highlight the panels on the vertical supports as well as across the serpentine apron, which features a carved shell with scrolls and leaves at the center. One feature to note: The side panels have round bronze vent covers...
