The frieze of bolection shape with carved acanthus leafs and flowers, with carved egg and dart cornice directly above a moulded substantial mantel shelf, the dog leg opening has further carved Acanthus leaf decoration around the opening, jambs terminate on moulded foot blocks.

Verde Antico is the marble chosen to grace the fronts of many Cartier Jewelry stores worldwide, selected as a timeless classic marble that reflects deep colour and exuberance. (Marble upright slip section shown in photo 4) Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, circa 1900 Both pieces were salvaged from Forth Ports House, Leith, Edinburgh Scotland. The Port house was the office and command centre for the large geographical Leith Docklands, Leith Docks can trace their history back to 1544, in 1561 Mary Queen of Scots landed in Leith Docks, In 1772, during the American war of independence, John Paul Jones-the Scotsman credited with founding the US Navy-set sail as commodore of a seven ship squadron charged with destroying British commerce in the North Sea. He aimed to capture the Port of Leith and hold it for ransom, but a gale at sea prevented him from reaching the port, and he was stalled at the mouth of the Firth of Forth sea, that leads to the Docks. Opening size without the marble slips, for the one in the photo: 1067mm high x 1170mm wide. The other fireplace measures: Height 1200mm Width 1590mm Depth 220mm Opening size 875mm high x 1080mm wide.
