Waldorf Astoria Hotel Louis XVI Regency Marble Mantel Suite 14M

About the Item

This petite Louis XVI Regency style mantel is carved out of burgundy marble with striking white and gray veining. An infinity chain of hand-carved overlapping circles decorates the apron. Oak leaf and acorn corner floral motifs sit above each jamb, and fluting runs the length of each leg. There is a unique floral transition before the fluting becomes cabled above the plinth. Classic and stunning, 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. Stamped "Made in France," 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 suite M of the 14th floor. A Waldorf Astoria authenticity card is included with your purchase. Pictured still installed at the Waldorf Astoria, the mantel pieces are in very good to excellent condition, having some wear consistent with its age. A matching original hearth is included. A minor repair of a missing corner at the front of the hearth is necessary. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.
