About the Item

This exceptional fireplace surround originates from France and dates to the mid-18th century. Carved from a luminous ochre marble, it embodies the graceful aesthetics of the period—characterised by softened lines, modest curvature, and a central floral medallion that anchors the design with classical sophistication. The marble surface displays an exquisite natural polish and a nuanced aging referred to as artempo wear—an authentic patina developed over centuries, which gives the stone an inviting warmth and texture. Its lightly veined surface and softly curved jambs catch and reflect ambient light with a mellow, golden hue, subtly illuminating its surroundings and enhancing the sense of space in the room. Despite its age, the piece has been preserved with great care. Minor restorations have been thoughtfully executed to maintain both structural integrity and visual authenticity. The rear faces of the jambs reveal the raw, hand-hewn stone, offering a striking contrast to the refined front view—an evocative reminder of its artisanal origin. Whether used as a decorative centrepiece or as a functional hearth, this surround infuses a space with history, elegance, and warmth. A true testament to 18th-century craftsmanship and French decorative artistry.
