This beautiful French 19th century Louis XVI mantel features pristinely gilded bronze mounts with ribbons and a floral design. The mounts contrast quite well against the marble’s light hues of grey and red. The curvature of the piece combined with the movement in the bronze work is not only indicative of the Louis XVI period, but also balanced and striking.

French 19th Century Louis XV Blue Turquin Marble Mantel
Item Number: 642x
This beautiful Louis XV Mantel is made with Blue Turquin marble, an Italian marble found in the Provence of Carrara, highly praised and used in the 18th and 19th centuries because of both its ‘hardness’ and style. The Louis XV style is evident in the shape of the piece, and the blue-grey hue of the marble with sinuous (heavily curved) veining is poised to elevate any fireplace.
Price: $12,500
