About the Item

A magnificent French Louis XV period fireplace mantel, dating to circa 1740–1760, exquisitely hand-carved from richly veined Rouge Royal marble. This mantel exemplifies the Rococo sensibility of the Louis XV era, showcasing gracefully curving lines, a serpentine apron, and delicately sculpted floral and shell motifs along the frieze. The piece is anchored by fluted jambs adorned with intricately carved rosettes and scrollwork, demonstrating the artisan’s refined mastery of ornament and balance. The rouge marble, with its bold crimson and white veining, adds depth, elegance, and warmth to any sophisticated interior. With a commanding presence at 57 1/8” shelf length and a generous 43 3/4” firebox opening width, this mantel is ideal for grand rooms seeking a historically authentic centerpiece. Its harmonious proportions and ornate detailing embody the decorative richness and fluid movement characteristic of French Rococo design.
