Hand Carved Mahogany Double Decker Mantel 4 Griffins

About the Item

A simply stunning example of American architecture, this large 19th century antique mantel features highly detailed foliate carvings with four griffins, two flanked on each side. The griffins lead to carved lion's feet resting on top of the plinths. The over mantel features a large rectangular mirror, pedestals above the heads of the griffins, fluted columns with Ionic capitals, and carved moldings. In the center, a shield framed by hand-carved leaves adorns the apron and a rectangular mirror sits above the shelf, framed by layers of carving. This mantel was reclaimed by Olde Good Things, from a townhouse on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The entire piece is in very good condition with wear consistent with its age. Please note, this item is located in one of our NYC locations.

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.
