Rare Finely Carved Statuary Marble Chimneypiece

An impressive and monumental piece, this large reclaimed fire surround is a rare find.

The arched form is adorned with organic and finely carved feminine depictions.

Comprised of 3 substantial and solid blocks of statuary marble, the chimneypiece is flanked by a goddess on each side. Deeply carved entwined vines/roots emerge from their hair, twisting and trailing along a trellis and meeting within the central frieze of the surround. 

An extremely unusual piece with an Art Nouveau influence and a sprinkle of folklore and fantasy.
