Louis XIII limestone fireplace with overmantel
Reference : 2026014
Louis XIII limestone fireplace with overmantel: This Louis XIII-style fireplace is carved from limestone. Featuring an overmantel, it showcases a structured and refined composition typical of designs inspired by the 17th century.
The firebox is framed by a keystoned lintel composed of several carefully jointed stone blocks, highlighting traditional stone-carving craftsmanship. The chamfered opening, softened by rounded upper corners, adds depth and a sense of lightness to the overall design.
The straight jambs rest on projecting foot blocks that reinforce the fireplace’s visual balance and echo the architectural codes of the Louis XIII style. The piece retains a restrained yet powerful silhouette, characteristic of antique fireplaces found in distinguished period homes.
The upper section is enhanced by an overmantel decorated with a right-angled moulded frame. The whole is crowned by a cornice with multiple stepped projections.
