Late 18th century Statuary and Brocatelle marble fireplace with putti

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.
