About the Item
A desirable and rare Scottish George IlI

unadorned frieze, flanked by plain

marble formations with return sections

Scotland, 1760.
1760 was the start of the golden Georgian
era, wealthy merchants built lavish
properties all over the U.K. they often built
second homes in market towns near to
main cities, these homes were
constructed in the fashionable manner of
the day with no expense spared on the
interiors, architects and owners alike
searched for rare marbles and exotic
woods to adorn such buildings. Once
these rooms were complete, owners could
show their friends and visitors rare
materials signifying their wealth and
status.
Bardigilo marble comes from Italy, it would
have been an incredibly rare and
expensive stone in 1760 spending many
weeks on board a ship, before being
handed to local masons and cutters that
would follow an architectural drawing. It's
incredibly rare to acquire one of these
early pieces in such great overall
condition

We have many early Georgian steel fire grates and inserts that would compliment this fine piece. Shown with a polished steel fire grate not included. This is available on our first dibs listings.
