About the Item

An antique Louis XVI-style fireplace surround, the generously shaped and moulded shelf above bow-front fluted frieze with foliate carved central plaque and foliate paterae to each flank, all raised on stop-fluted scroll jambs and block feet, in superb quality lightly veined Statuary Marble. Between the years 1853 and 1870, Baron Georges Haussmann, Prefect of the Seine, oversaw grand and ambitious building projects that transformed Paris and saw swathes of smart residential blocks built. Every apartment had to have a fireplace. This, and other similarly ambitious development schemes is the reason for such a proliferation of nineteenth-century French cheminées in earlier Louis XV and XVI styles such as this smart example. We are able to offer a full supply and fit service for our fireplaces within Great Britain and are happy to discuss options for hearths and interior firebox finishes. Please contact us for a quote.
