About the Item

Spectacular antique chimneypiece crafted from Statuary marble and with large opulent panels of Lapis Lazuli inlay. This magnificent fireplace surround was removed from a large house in Hertfordshire, England, once owned by the shipping magnate Sir Frederik William Lewis (later Lord Essendon). Lord Essendon made numerous improvements to his house installing features such as this enormous statement fireplace surround. This surround is an excellent example of the Georgian Revival style that occurred during the early years of the 20th Century. Due to its large size, this surround would be ideal for creating an 'inglenook' style fireplace. Lapis Lazuli is a very highly regarded and sought-after stone. Its deep, celestial blue symbolises royalty and honour, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth.
