About the Item
This Empire-style fireplace is made of Rouge Griotte marble, known for its deep color and highly prized under Napoleon I.
The gilded bronzes that adorn the fireplace are attributed to the bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751-1843), renowned for his sculptures and his major role in the diffusion of the Empire taste (1804-1830). These finely chiseled ornaments represent busts of caryatids. These female figures generally support entablatures in ancient temples. Similarly, here they support the fireplace top and are placed above the jambs that recall the pillars of these ancient buildings. The simplicity of the decorations and the antique forms are indeed an ideal model in Empire-style furniture.
The upper band is topped with a top that was possibly modified after the production of the fireplace, which surely dates from the 1820s.
