Late 19th Century Pink Louis XVI French Marble Mantel

This petite mantel was carved in the Louis XVI style. A reaction against the elaborate ornament of the preceding Baroque period, Louis XVIs design features included the straight column and the simple lines of the post-and-lintel – inspiration, which is easily noted in this piece’s design. This mantel was carved with minimal detail – three carved channels leading to floral motifs. A mixture of brown hues, with speckles of white and light pink, this mantel was imported from Europe by Danny Alessandro & Edwin Jackson Mantel Company – fine mantel dealers specializing in pieces for private clients. This mantel is in very good condition with wear consistent with its age. Please allow 3-4 weeks for processing.
