About the Item

A large and incredibly well carved antique Italian Carrara marble fireplace in the Renaissance style Made in Venice during the middle of the 19th century in the Renaissance revival style. The coloured Portoro marble pilasters are under intricately carved capitals and corbels, the frieze is profusely carved with vines, leaf’s, grapes, foliage, centred by swan, a symbol of purity, elegance, and perfection. A large one piece break-fronted cornice shelf, carved with leaf work and bead and reel motifs, rests on top. Circa 1860 The Italian Renaissance Revival style in Venice, and in other parts of Italy, was a significant architectural movement that drew inspiration from the 14th and 15th-century Italian Renaissance, particularly the palazzos found in cities like Florence and Venice. This revival style was particularly influential in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with buildings built in this style often incorporating elements of Renaissance architecture while also adapting to the needs of the time.
