This fireplace presents a combination of marble and bronze, which is characteristic of Louis XVI style. This fireplace’s shapes are simple and the lines are straight. This style uses sober colors, which is why the use of semi-statuary marble is appropriate. A semi-statuary marble signifies a marble that is almost homogeneously white with very few veins.
The band is detailed with rectangular bronze pearl contours. At its center is a golden bronze flower motif. The flower is composed of acanthus leaves and round fruit that are dragged into a circular movement.
The top of the legs uses the same motifs as the band and extends it with the bronze flower surrounded by pearls. The fireplace's legs are half-fluted columns and slim down to the base. Between the flutes intercalate wheat sprouts with field flowers. This reference to a rural nature mixed with antiquity is typical of the Louis XVI style.
The cast iron interior echoes the fireplace’s mantel with wheat germs and field flowers over its entire surface. The upper part of the hearth features a fine Greek ornamental frieze.
Contrary to the rules in force in the 19th century, the width of the hearth slab is set back 2 cm from the feet.
This fireplace is sold with its original cast iron insert and with its marble floor.
