Antique 18th Century Statuary and Sienna Mantelpiece

About the Item

A magnificent and rare antique Statuary and Sienna marble fireplace. The lower half with full rounded Sienna columns on Statuary pilasters and with highly carved capitals, each one different. The arched opening decorated with a trail of carved statuary marble oak leaves and acorns. Resting on the break-fronted shelf is a Sienna marble over-mantel overlaid with statuary marble carvings of intertwining ivy and berries, interrupted by four exquisitely carved and unique brackets. In the left top corner are the letters 'AD' and the right corner '1783' the date of manufacture. The pearl beading which is inset into the Sienna frame is extremely fine and perfectly formed. It is believed that the top section of the fireplace originally housed a painting but can be filled, using a mirror, or as intended, a painted panel or framed picture. Made in the Gothic Revival style, an architectural movement which began during the late 1740's.

18th Century George II Sienna and White Statuary Marble Fire Surround

Located in Dublin 8, IE

A very rare 18th century George II sienna and white statuary marble fire surround in the manner of Louis XV, designed by Isaac Ware. Principally of well figured sienna marble with statuary marble shelf and embellishments. Of serpentine form, the frieze centred by a carved statuary peacock flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves. The hipped jambs mounted with ‘C’ scrolls above an elaborate acanthus ‘S’ scroll terminating in a rosette and suspending graduated husks. The whole standing on block feet. Provenance: Philip Stanhope (1694-1772) 4th. Earl of Chesterfield, Chesterfield House, London. One of the most important figures of the 18th Century in England; a man of letters, connoisseur of the arts, diplomat, he was sent as a young man to the court of Louis XV. The Earl, very much a courtier and ‘townsman’, having spent time in Paris and Versailles, became passionate about the ‘style á la française’. It is very curious then that he should have chosen such a classical architect as Isaac Ware. Ware heavily influenced the design of the ground floor where the dining room, library, waiting room amongst others were situated. In stark contrast the first floor ‘piano nobile...
