About the Item

This exceptionnal baroque fireplace is from Italy, dated as the end of the 18th century. It is an outstanding marble piece, and gathers two types of beautiful and distinct marbles; white statuary Carrara marble and Brocatelle marble, characterized by the rich and foliage patterns all over its swirling veining surface. The Carrara marble quarries found near the Mediterranean sea between Pisa and Parma, have been famous since roman times and add a distinct shine and refinement to objects carved out from this marble. A delicate marble bust is standing in the center of the fireplace and is balancing the richly detailed white and yellow decor. Some roses are crowning this important piece, contrasting with geometric figures. Two marble putti are surmounting the fireplace, both holding a delicate flower candelabra made in bronze. This fireplace is sold with its original marble floor but without any fireplace insert.

18th Century George II Sienna and White Statuary Marble Fire Surround
Located in Dublin 8, IE
A very rare 18th century George II sienna and white statuary marble fire surround in the manner of Louis XV, designed by Isaac Ware. Principally of well figured sienna marble with statuary marble shelf and embellishments. Of serpentine form, the frieze centred by a carved statuary peacock flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves. The hipped jambs mounted with ‘C’ scrolls above an elaborate acanthus ‘S’ scroll terminating in a rosette and suspending graduated husks. The whole standing on block feet. Provenance: Philip Stanhope (1694-1772) 4th. Earl of Chesterfield, Chesterfield House, London. One of the most important figures of the 18th Century in England; a man of letters, connoisseur of the arts, diplomat, he was sent as a young man to the court of Louis XV. The Earl, very much a courtier and ‘townsman’, having spent time in Paris and Versailles, became passionate about the ‘style á la française’. It is very curious then that he should have chosen such a classical architect as Isaac Ware. Ware heavily influenced the design of the ground floor where the dining room, library, waiting room amongst others were situated. In stark contrast the first floor ‘piano nobile...
