Antique Louis XV Style Rouge de France Marble Fireplace Mantel, 19th Century

About the Item

Originating in the 1800s in France, this stunning fireplace mantel was hand-carved from rouge de France marble. The marble has a wonderful red and brown palette with white and gray veining and is highly honed, allowing the fantastic carvings to gain prominence. A thick quarter-round molding adorns the arbalete top, graced with rounded protuberances that align with the legs, which are set at an outward angle. Beneath each protuberance is an attenuated shell embellished with volutes. A similar carving can be seen on the lintel, surrounded by thick molding that runs down the pilaster-style legs, before terminating in thick molding. Our Louis XV-style fireplace mantel will instantly enhance any living room, bedroom, or library firebox.

18th Century French Fireplace Mantel in Carved Limestone
Located in Dallas, TX
This beautiful antique French fireplace mantel was carved in stone during the late 18th century. It’s quite an unusual example in that falls into the transitional style of Louis XV and XVI. This was a short period of time in the 1700s when the opulent rocaille forms were transitioning into the Neoclassical of Louis XVI. The fireplace has an impressive, deep stance, with a slightly bowed or “galbee” lintel. The bottom of the lintel is composed of a series of rounded and incurved moldings, shaped in the classic crossbow or serpentine form that was so popular in the early to mid-1700s. What makes this piece stand out from other French Louis XV mantels...
