A very fine and delicately carved Louis XVI antique French chimneypiece. The slender shelf rests over a frieze carved in low relief with Vitruvian scrolls amongst foliage, and set with a tablet carved with a portrait cameo and ribboned floral garland. The frieze is supported on corbel jambs with floral garlands. The fireplace has its original ornate cast iron insert, decorated with a bead and reel border, with a torchere and quiver motif.
French, mid 19th century.
