Solid mahogany fireplace, from a castle in the Nantes region, has a fireplace mantel made up of moldings. This ends inwardly with an entourage patterned with acanthus leaves at the corners and gadroons.
The periphery of the small tablet, above, is bec-de-corbin and grooved.
Set back we find a dark mitred frame of a stucco panel depicting an antique fresco. This figure includes Bacchus the god of wine and Ploutos the god of abundance.
This piece of furniture has two large columns with stopped fluting, slightly larger at the bottom, ending in two stepped moldings on a square plinth with plinth.
The top of its columns is crowned with a capital with volutes.
The upper element of this fireplace comprises a set of eight sculpted compositions, four shells and a pearl, separated by fluted wood elements.
Each side has identical decorations.
The important cornice that crowns the whole is notched and molded in gradient.
This rare mahogany fireplace will elegantly adorn your fireplaces whether they are made of bricks or flames.
