The floral bouquets are what give this Victorian marble chimneypiece its character. Carved in repeated detail down the full length of the panelled jambs, they add real depth and texture, framing the generous arched fire opening on either side and terminating in solid footing at the base for stability. Above the arch, a decorative keystone sits at the centre, drawing the eye and highlighting the quality of the carving, while a moulded bevelled shelf rests on top to complete the design with proportion and refinement. Crafted from pure statuary marble, this is a substantial and finely detailed surround that displays both elegance and scale. In excellent condition, with crisp carving and smooth, polished surfaces, it makes a striking centrepiece for a traditional period home or a modern restoration project.
