About the Item
This stone mantel from the Louis XV period is distinguished by its rich decoration, borrowing from the ornamental vocabulary of the Rocaille style. The mantel's trumeau is also very elaborate, a Baroque characteristic.
The lower part of the lintel features double curves that wrap around the center of a shell motif, typical of the Louis XV period. The shell in relief is asymmetrical, surrounded by scrolls with wing, foliage, and shell motifs. The rest of the entablature comprises fine moldings, in which acanthus leaves and sinuous flower threading extend.
On the front of the curved legs, lines of rocaille, shell, and acanthus leaf motifs intertwine. These motifs were widely used under Louis XV, borrowing from the Rocaille style. On the inner side of the legs, foliage grows upwards from the base of the jambs and imposes itself on the lintel, creating a curvature at the level of the moldings.
The overmantel, like the fireplace, is richly decorated. At the top of the overmantel, a female mask is the central element around which the decorations are organized. A garland of flowers adorns the top of her head, while sinuous lines of leaves and shells surround her. Beneath this figure is a frame decorated with a cartouche of aquatic motifs adorned with a small central flower. The frame is made of raised moldings, alternating between straight and curved lines. On either side of the overmantel stand two symmetrical, straight columns. At the top of the column is an assembly of acanthus leaves. At the top of the shaft, we find the shell motif, from which scrolls and a leaf develop. At the bottom of the shaft, a shell and curves echoing the rock and shell motifs rise to the top.
This fireplace is sold without any fireplace insert nor marble floor but could be made to order (please ask for marble availability).
