About the Item

Pair of antique French ormolu mounted marble fireplaces with cast iron insets French, Late 19th Century Fireplaces: Height 112cm, width 152cm, depth 33cm Iron inserts: Height 89cm, width 115cm, depth 46cm Made in late 19th century France from statuary marble, ormolu and cast iron, this identical pair of fireplaces is a very desirable addition to the appropriate interior space. The marble body is expertly adorned with high quality ormolu mounts. These are cast in various shapes depicting acanthus leaves, rosettes, and Empire-style mythical beasts. The white colouration of the marble is a stunning base for the shining gold of the ormolu detailing. The cast iron insets depict a central scene of a courting couple. The male is playing for the lady, and the scene is set in a woodland. Framing it are numerous laurel leaf garlands, some ribbon tied. Below the scene is further foliage adding to the woodland scenery.

Large Fleur de Pêche Marble and Ormolu Antique Fireplace

Located in London, GB

Large Fleur de Pêche marble and ormolu antique fireplace French, 19th Century Height 121cm, width 188cm, depth 63cm This stunning fireplace combines unusual Fleur de Pêche marble with sculptural ormolu mounts. The fireplace consists of a panelled frieze, below which is the wide serpentine opening. The twin jambs are canted in form, and are supported by footblocks. The use of the historic Fleur de Pêche marble is particularly pleasing: featuring deep veining in a palette of cream, purple, and brown, the marble was highly popular for opulent 19th century design, adorning elite interiors such as the main hall of the Napoleon III apartments in the Louvre. The fireplace is adorned with several ormolu mounts. A large Rococo scallop shell form decorates the centre of the marble frieze, trailed by acanthus leaves. The upper sections of the jambs are applied with female terms, whose bodies dissolve into further acanthus-style forms. The bottom sections also feature gilt-bronze decoration, with further scallop shell designs. The fireplace also features a cast-iron inset, decorated with geometric designs. The fireplace clearly takes inspiration from the Rococo-style fireplace in the Council Cabinet in the King’s Apartments at Versaille, which was designed in the late 18th century by Jacques Verberckt and Jacques Caffiéri. Whilst the deep red marble of the Versailles fireplace...
