An Irish Regency Chimneypiece in Kilkenny marble

A columned Regency chimneypiece carved in black Kilkenny marble during the 19th century, likely in Dublin. Doric columns support a simple frieze and corner blocks with fielded panels, reflecting the restrained elegance of Irish Regency design. The Doric order, associated with strength and simplicity, was largely favoured in Irish architecture during this period.
