About the Item

A Late Georgian Style Chimneypiece in White Statuary Marble Inlaid with Fine and Rare Specimens of Blue-John Stone A 20th century fireplace with a simple moulded shelf supported by a central tablet carved with a Neoclassical urn, paterae and ribbons tied with bellflower. The frieze and jambs are inlaid with fine and rare specimens of Blue-John stone in stylised anthemion (or palmette) details. The decorative patterns of this chimneypiece recall the colourful motifs used by Robert Adam for interiors, as shown by one of his sketches for a fireplace frieze here below.
