18th Century Georgian Style Hand-Carved White Marble Fireplace Mantle
About the Item
Unique fireplace produced under license from Kenwood House Hampstead, London. Finely detailed vines bearing clusters of ripe grapes clamber up the jambs and across the frieze of the dining room chimney-piece. Expertly hand-carved in imperial white statuary marble, they are shown here in natural harmony with the elaborate shape, relief patters and tendril-like scrolls. The original from which this chimney-piece derives its beauty was sculptured by John Bingley and has its home in the North Wing of Kenwood House, added by architect George Saunders in the 1790s. French-inspired, it is a significant departure, both in theme and proportions, from the neoclassical aesthetic prevalent in most of the house. The exuberant carving of this piece has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

18th Century Bossi Hand-Carved Statuary Marble Fireplace with Scagliola Inlay
By Pietto Bossi
Located in London, GB
This 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...
