About the Item
This antique Louis XVI style marble fireplace mantle is carved from burgundy marble with striking gray and white veining, and imbued with symbolism. In the center of the apron, two laurel branches cross, forming a backdrop to a rosette with flowing ribbon ends. To the left and right of this carving, matching floral motifs embedded in a square frame sit above angled jambs which feature flowing acanthus leaves at the top. The shelf is finished with a slightly squared off edge.
An early to mid-19th century Louis XVI style piece, this piece epitomizes "Louis Seize" - a style of architecture, furniture, decoration and art just before the French Revolution. Designs in this style hearkened back to the purity and grandeur of the art of the Ancient Greeks. Each of the carvings in this mantel carries symbolism. In the apron, the laurel branches symbolize cultured intellect, as the laurel is sacred to Apollo, the god of music, prophecy, and poetry. Similarly, acanthus leaves have been used throughout design to signify taste, elegance, and classic beauty.
This antique mantel was one of several pieces imported from Europe to furnish the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC, which opened on October 1, 1931. This mantel is original to room 40H. A Waldorf Astoria authenticity card is included with your purchase.
Pictured still installed at the Waldorf Astoria, the original hearth is not included. Kindly confirm condition before purchasing. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.
