An Elaborate 19th Century Rococo Chimneypiece in Louis XV Style with an Elegant, Moulded Shelf

The fine asymmetric serpentine frieze presents a central cartouche in the shape of a stylised shell, flanked by foliage and panels. Shell corner-blocks surmount jambs in the shape of foliage scrolls with bell flowers, terminating in acanthus leaves supported by bowed foot blocks.
