An early 19th century, statuary marble, English chimneypiece, circa 1810. With moulded shelf above the frieze; which is centred with a well-carved scene of Neptune (the god who in classical mythology ruled the seas and its inhabitants) holding a three pronged trident, flanked by stylised dolphins and at the ends, fish-tailed Tritons blowing their conch shells. The pilaster jambs decorated with inverted tridents entwined with withering sea snakes. The whole raised on foot blocks.
