This simple yet elegant Belgium marble fireplace surround/mantel was found in Paris in the 1980s but dates from the 19th century. Perfect salvaged condition. History and details. The fireplace known as Pompadour, is inspired from the sinuous lines of the Louis XV style. It is produced from the middle of 19th century to adorn Parisians apartment. A typology of the fireplace is thus created, in order to respond to the high demand for furniture in the new Parisian flats. In reference to the one who transformed Paris under the Second Empire, the Baron Haussmann, those habitations are called ‘haussmanniennes”. If it have the name of Pompadour, it is in honor of the muse of decorative arts, Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, more commonly known under the name of Marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764).
