About the Item

Fabulous terracotta mantel piece or fire surround, inscribed PIUS IX on the left hand side and MDCCLX (1760) on the right. The top section of the mantelpiece carved with two angels holding the papal crest of Pius IX, surmounted by dentil moulding. Vertical base pieces carved with large acanthus scrolls and rosettes. We believe this to be a contemporary mantelpiece carved in the ancient Roman style. The mantelpiece comes in three sections, with the top simply resting on the two vertical pieces of the base. Highly unusual and unique.

Antique French Fireplace in Sandstone
Located in Haarlem, Noord-Holland
Very nice and subtle pinkish French Louis XVI fireplace mantel. The mantel is made from Sandstone from the “Massif de Vosges” called Grès Rose, pink sandstone. One of its unique characters it that the color changes during the day and the way it is lit. It’s unusual shape and nice paneling combined with the leaf decorations make this a modest yet strong decorative piece. It is unrestored, it has some chips and imperfections but this only adds to its beautiful pantina. This mantel can be supplied with returns or can be made to be flush fitted against a wall.
