Important Louis XV fireplace-surround, sturdy, curved and richly carved in veined Carrara marble. Ca.1875. Recently found and currently being cleaned now in my workshop. -Under Louis XV, 1710-1774, the shell (or Rocaille) is very often used as a motif in the center of the frieze (lintel) as well at the top of the jambs. The general shape of the frieze becomes more curved.- On the photo here, you can see that the two retours of the shelf are connected already with the shelf. That makes this version as a surround. So this fireplace has also deeper sidepanels. But this fireplace can be easy made to a frontmodel, if you like. The beauty of this fireplace is also the extra height: 120 cm. With an average length of 143 cm. Fireplace will be delivered with original Carrara marble floortiles, to make a frontfloor. Also in stock: Louis XV foyertiles. Worldwide shipping. Delivery in Europe can be done by us: 'In House Delivery'.
