Hand Carved Mahogany Double Decker Mantel 4 Griffins

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.
