Even today: there is no alternative if you wanna bring authentic walltiles into an historic room. 60 tiles needed for each square meter. Can be savely sended all over the world.

Louis XV style fireplace, Carrara marble

Louis XV style fireplace, Carrara marble

Important Louis XV fireplace-surround, sturdy, curved and richly carved in veined Carrara marble. Ca.1875.  Recently found and currently being cleaned now in my workshop.  -Under Louis XV, 1710-1774, the shell (or Rocaille) is very often used as a motif in the center of the frieze (lintel) as well at the top of the jambs. The general shape of the frieze becomes more curved.-  On the photo here, you can see that the two retours of the shelf are connected already with the shelf. That makes this version as a surround. So this fireplace has also deeper sidepanels. But this fireplace can be easy made to a frontmodel, if you like. The beauty of this fireplace is also the extra height: 120 cm. With an average length of 143 cm. Fireplace will be delivered with original Carrara marble floortiles, to make a frontfloor. Also in stock: Louis XV foyertiles.  Worldwide shipping.
