About the Item

A rare 18th century Italian Baroque fireplace mantel in finely carved statuary marble. The generously moulded arched shelf forms the upper part of a serpentine frieze which extends the full width of the mantel and is centred by a high prominent shell cartouche. To one side of the cartouche, representing summer, are profusely and delicately carved flowers and to the other are equally defined grape vines and ears of wheat representing autumn. Carved in low relief at each end of the frieze are winged mythical dragons and to the side are vases of flowers beneath which are elaborate angled c-scrolled jambs decorated with masks of grotesques holding ropes of fruits in their mouths and there are trails of tumbling berries and leaves down the sides. Italian mid-18th century. (Price and vat in EU zone)
