Antique Marble Fireplace

This antique Escalette marble fireplace, dating from the late 19th century and originating from the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a Louis XVI style surround. It features a curved front mantel and its original cast iron insert. The lintel is adorned with a sculpted cartouche, with precise details, and rosettes on the corner blocks. Its contrasting veins and harmonious proportions suit both restorations and high-end interior design projects.

This surround is carved from Escalette marble with clean, contrasting veins and is decorated with finely executed Louis XVI details. The rosettes and the cartouche motif structure the whole without weighing down its geometry.

The Louis XVI style is characterized by symmetry and rigorous ornamentation, which allows pieces like this to integrate easily into both classic interiors and more contemporary projects seeking an architectural focal point.
