Curved Louis XVI style mantel in Arabescato marble decorated with a laurel wreath

This Louis XVI-style fireplace is in Arabescato marble, a white marble veined with gray or black. It is one of the white marbles of Carrara, and its main quarries are located in the Carrara basin in Italy, at Seravezza Lucca. The band of this fireplace is defined by moldings forming a rectangle carved into the marble. At the center of this rectangle are multiple laurel leaves and their fruits, which separate into two asymmetrical parts and meet at their ends outside the frame to form an oval at its center. The inside of the oval is invested with a wavy, knotted ribbon. From this center, two long laurel branches extend along the sides of the band, framed by the rectangle of moldings. The console parts of the leg are adorned with a framed floral motif, formed by acanthus leaves and a central high-relief bud. The top of the leg is curved by the presence of scrolls on the sides of the leg. The face of the leg features superimposed acanthus leaves plunging downwards. The rest of the leg is fluted and ends in a scroll. The central flute is adorned with pearls. This fireplace is characterized by a blend of natural motifs, such as flowers and foliage, with motifs from Antiquity, such as the use of acanthus flowers, laurel crown, and column fluting. This mix is typical of the Louis XVI style, to which we can add the presence of ribbons and pearls, also characteristic of this style.

Large Napoleon III-style gilded trumeau with laurel garland

This large Napoleon III-style gilded overmantel is remarkable for the large garland that spills over the mirror and intertwines in the overmantel. The garland is made of laurel leaves, which are found at the top of the overmantel next to the central motif. The central motif is that of a coat of arms, from which cut leather and ribbons emerge. The overmantel has simple and rectilinear shapes that feature rounded inner corners, contrasting with the outer corners that protrude from the rectangular structure. Throughout the frame of the overmantel, the same motifs are repeated, notably that of the pearls. The use of laurel leaves, reminiscent of Greek Antiquity, and the use of pearls and ribbons are reminiscent of the Louis XVI style, a style used in the Napoleon III style initiated by Empress Eugénie.
