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 LimestoneLocated in Dallas, TXThis 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...Category

- Antique French Nero Marquina Marble Fireplace Mantel, Circa 1880Located in Dallas, TXFeaturing Louis XIV-style elements, this French fireplace mantel was hand-carved circa 1880 out of an elegant nero marquina marble. Quarried in the town of Marquina, in the Basque Country, this marble was quite popular during the 1800’s, often used as flooring and for fireplaces. The deep black stone has variegated white veining throughout, enhancing the beauty of the stone, which is magnified by the smoothly carved moldings. Most noticeably, the firebox opening has a luscious half-round border that is two inches thick. The feet are augmented by a six-inch thick protruding bolection and the lintel has several thin layers of molding. A bronze rosette medallion, set within beading and a foliate ring, graces each side, also functioning as a vent. Our nero marquina mantel...Category
