A Magnificent 19th Century Chimneypiece in Louis XV Style

A grand French mid-19th century chimneypiece carved in Carrara marble, the simple moulded shelf is supported by a frieze carved with sumptuous laurel garlands, an elegant cartouche at centre and flowers on the cornerblocks. The console jambs are surmounted by finely carved rams heads, while a very subtle ornamental motif frames the opening.
