Antique Marble Fireplace | Reference 1634

Carved from “Griotte de Campan rouge” marble, this antique fireplace combines deep red hues with pale gray and white veins. It dates from the late 18th century and comes from Lille, France. Its compact, Louis XV-style design centers on a shell motif carved into the lintel.

The central shell is framed by paired scrolls, while fine moldings accentuate the lintel’s curved lower edge. Foliage motifs adorn the tops of the jambs, extending along their front faces with elongated panels and small circular ornaments. A projecting mantelpiece, featuring a rounded edge, follows the curved line of the upper section. Broad white veins run through the stone, interlaced with much finer lines, giving the red marble a rich and varied appearance. This antique fireplace is crafted from marble sourced from Campan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées region of France.
