About the Item
Antique French Country Fireplace Surround – Louis XIV Period (18th Century)
This authentic French country fireplace surround originates from the Louis XIV period, dating back to the 18th century. Crafted from a light, off-white limestone with warm beige undertones, it reflects the rustic charm and understated elegance typical of rural aristocratic homes of that era.
The fronton (lintel) is subtly more refined and smoother in tone than the jambs, showcasing a soft patina of beige and off-white coloration. This tonal difference — likely the result of natural aging and environmental exposure — adds character and highlights the mantel’s antique authenticity. The left jamb has undergone some restoration, done in a manner that preserves the original aesthetic while enhancing structural integrity.
Notable is the gently curved arched opening, with sculpted contours typical of Louis XIV styling. The surface in person appears more consistent and even than in the image, with a matte texture that complements the rustic feel.
This mantelpiece is an excellent choice for country homes, rustic interiors, or farmhouse-style decors, blending naturally with wood beams, stone flooring, or linen textiles. It can also be enhanced with the addition of an upper mantel (trumeau) for a grander vertical impression.
