Louis XVI Style Carved Limestone Fireplace Mantel from Southern Italy
About the Item
Hand-carved in six pieces of limestone in Southern Italy, this fireplace mantel is in the style of Louis XVI. The deep fluting of the legs, with partial infills (known as cabling or chandelle), is reminiscent of columns from ancient Greece and Rome. Additional fluting can be seen on the lintel, with four groupings separated by three recessed rectangles. The lintel has also been carved with disproportionate moldings on the top and bottom, although the thinner top molding is topped by a one and a quarter inch thick capstone that slightly overhands the lintel. Cream accents permeate the gray colored limestone mantel, which has a rectilinear form, making it a very appealing option for wherever a fireplace is needed.

18th Century French Fireplace Mantel in Carved Limestone
Located in Dallas, TX
This beautiful antique French fireplace mantel was carved in stone during the late 18th century. It’s quite an unusual example in that falls into the transitional style of Louis XV and XVI. This was a short period of time in the 1700s when the opulent rocaille forms were transitioning into the Neoclassical of Louis XVI. The fireplace has an impressive, deep stance, with a slightly bowed or “galbee” lintel. The bottom of the lintel is composed of a series of rounded and incurved moldings, shaped in the classic crossbow or serpentine form that was so popular in the early to mid-1700s. What makes this piece stand out from other French Louis XV mantels...
