Antique simple French limestone fireplace
Reference : 2024085
Antique simple French limestone fireplace: This antique fireplace is a beautiful example of the rustic charm found in more modest French houses. Simple 19th century fireplaces like this one, carved from French limestone, are sought after for their plain authenticity and their ability to bring a warm, traditional atmosphere to an interior.
It perfectly embodies the French chic, with simple and clean lines. Its understated and elegant aesthetic fits harmoniously into both historic and modern rooms, whether it is a living room, kitchen or bedroom. Being relatively high, but not vast in width, it will be well suited for the installation of a wood burning stove. The surface of the limestone shows a subtle patina, reflecting its age and history, with soft tones ranging from off-white to light beige. The lintel rests solidly on two straight jambs, with fine but not ostentatious 1/2 moulding.
