About the Item

This gray marble mantel features striking Brèche marble inlays on the frieze and jambs. Carved in the Louis XV style, designs of this time period can be broken into three distinct categories, however overall, they were characterized by curved forms, lightness and asymmetry versus the more formal, box like furniture of the preceding Louis XIV. True to this style, you will note the lightness in this mantel's design - the plinths are simple, but the legs are carved, leading to scrolls on each corner of the apron framing the center frieze, which is a pompadour motif. Imported from Europe by Danny Alessandro & Edwin Jackson Mantel Company - fine mantel dealers specializing in pieces for private clients, this mantel is in very good condition with wear consistent with its age. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.

Louis XV Hand Carved French Marble Mantel Rouge Royale
Located in New York, NY
Rich oxblood with white, gray and eggplant veining, this marble mantel was imported from Europe by Danny Alessandro & Edwin Jackson Mantel Company and carved out of rouge royale - a marble characterized by the presence of white calcite veins. In his Dictionary of Trade and Industry, Blanqui described this marble as, "This marble with a red background, mixed with white, and sometimes blue, is extracted in the town of Franchimont, near Philippeville, in the province of Namur. In all the Belgium marbles it is the one that was most frequently used in the decoration of monuments : in the palace of Versailles, the Louvre, Palais Royal, and in many other public and private buildings." This piece epitomizes the emerging design aesthetics of the Louis XV period characterized by curved forms, lightness, and comfort. True to its time period, minimal lines highlight the panels on the vertical supports as well as across the serpentine apron, which features a carved shell with scrolls and leaves at the center. One feature to note: The side panels have round bronze vent covers...
