Beautiful Louis XVI style fireplace with very rich decoration, sculpted in Carrara marble

This fireplace was crafted at the end of the 19th century in white Carrara marble. The material displays a fine grain and discreet grey veining. The overall design is in the Louis XVI style. The structure features a wide moulded shelf set on a straight entablature. The façade is arranged in three sections: a central frieze flanked by two long panels, and two console-shaped jambs resting on square bases. The opening is rectangular, framed by a simple surround that reveals a cast iron interior. The carved decoration is abundant and precise. At the centre of the frieze, a bouquet of flowers in high relief is tied with a ribbon; open blossoms, buds and small berries can be distinguished, each leaf treated individually. The side panels are animated with a regular scroll pattern: the volutes form medallions enclosing rosettes and small fruits, bordered by a string of pearls. Beneath the frieze, a central console (with leafy drop and small dentilled blocks) emphasises the axis. The jambs, shaped as consoles, are enriched with a long vertical panel: a vegetal drop with central braiding ending in a foliage motif at the bottom, while the top of each jamb bears a block decorated with a fleuron. The cast iron interior continues the vegetal vocabulary. The lintel carries a central trophy composed of a drum with its sticks, framed by branches tied with a ribbon. Each side panel shows a vertical motif of a stylised vase or bouquet placed on scrolls, within a beaded frame following the contour. On the floor, the rectangular hearth slab in white marble is decorated with three dark insets aligned across the front of the firebox, giving rhythm to the base. The ensemble combines classical order with rich floral decoration, characteristic of the revival of the Louis XVI style at the end of the 19th century.
