Red Jaspé Marble Mantel From Cazedarnes Louis XV 19th C.

Mantel in rare Rouge Jaspé de Cazedarnes marble in the Louis XV style, carved in the mid-19th century, generously curved and in perfect condition. The curved entablature is adorned with a coat of arms, undoubtedly of complaisance, azure à la fasce d'or ou d'argent, framed by sumptuous lambrequins.
