This antique Louis XVI fireplace is an exceptional piece, executed in the rare and historic marble Fleur de Pêcher. The lively marble, with its nuanced shadings of pink, violet and red, was widely used for prestigious commissions in the 19th century and still breathes the elegance of the French Second Empire. Comparable fireplaces in this special material can be found in the Louvre and the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, where Fleur de Pêcher was used for rooms of particular distinction.
The classic proportions and sober lines of this Louis XVI model form a beautiful contrast with the lively structure of the marble, giving the whole calm without losing any character. The front fireplace model is emphasised by a multi-layered mantel shelf that brings depth and balance. Subtle carved detailing in the side panels adds an extra sense of luxury, without disturbing the restrained elegance of the design.
A rare and stylish fireplace for those seeking refinement with a historical depth.
