About the Item
This original late 17th century French fireplace surround is carved from rare Burgundy Rose marble, a stone celebrated for its warm tones, subtle veining, and luminous surface. Topped with an elegant solid walnut shelf, this antique chimney piece embodies the refined minimalism and architectural balance characteristic of the late 1600s.
The sculptural design is deliberately restrained: softly moulded jambs, a gently arched lintel, and precise linear detailing create a harmonious composition where proportion and material take precedence over ornament. This minimalist approach allows the fireplace to transcend periods, making it equally suited to historic interiors, contemporary architecture, and modern art spaces.
The natural palette of the Burgundy Rose marble ranges from warm terracotta and soft blush tones to subtle ochre and mineral veining. As daylight moves through the room, the polished stone surface captures and reflects light with remarkable depth, creating a living patina that changes throughout the day. In candlelight or firelight, the marble glows with a soft warmth, enhancing a calm, intimate, and timeless ambiance.
The walnut top shelf introduces a refined contrast: its deep, natural grain adds warmth and tactile richness, making the fireplace a natural focal point for both cosy living spaces and refined gallery-like interiors. This balance between stone and wood elevates the piece as a true architectural element rather than mere decoration.
Thanks to its purity of form, this antique fireplace can be seamlessly combined with modern furniture, contemporary art, minimalist interiors, or classic European décor. It offers collectors and designers an authentic, one-of-a-kind statement that anchors a space with history, craftsmanship, and understated luxury.
