This impressive antique French-style Louis XVI fireplace surround has been expertly carved and crafted from grey marble with delicate statuary marble details to the jambs and frieze.

The well-figured shelf has stepped and canted corners. Each end-block delivers statuary marble floral patterae with a large carved garland that rests beneath. The frieze is ornately decorated with scrolling leaf and guilloche, also in statuary marble.
