About the Item

Architectural fireplace carved from black granite, featuring two monumental uprights in the form of classical male figures. Each wears a helmet and stands atop a plinth carved with bare feet. The torsos are adorned with cascading garlands and a stylized knot motif at the base. The central arched opening is surmounted by an entablature richly carved with bold geometric scrollwork in high relief. The composition, decorative vocabulary, and fine execution reflect a Renaissance-inspired aesthetic typical of regional 18th-century work, emphasizing monumentality and sculptural expression.
