A Fine Irish Neoclassical Late C18th Statuary and Sienna Marble Chimneypiece.

An Irish George III chimneypiece of highly elegant form, carved in white statuary marble with veneers of Sienna marble, circa 1790. The central tablet depicts a foliate urn of whimsical construction, the handles springing from the central vessel into bunches of grapes and vine leaves, the base of the vessel an acanthus leaf. The carved corner blocks present a similar abundance, its base and handles carved as laurel leaves. Throughout, the panels of Sienna enliven the delicate carving, adding a rich amber to this chimneypiece.
