Medium size French country fireplace
Reference : 2026020
This medium size (by French standards …. ) French country fireplace had suffered over the years so has been smoothed off on all faces to reveal its natural champagne coloured stone, featuring little sea shells.
Presumed 19th century, in good overall condition, it now has a much more contemprory look with its clean simple lines. It has simple stone side jambs with projecting inversed curved corbels without any additional carved decor. The lintel features a projecting chamfer running along the mantel shelf and each return.
This antique reclaimed chimneypiece came from a farm kitchen or living room. It would make an appropriate stone fireplace surround for installing a wood-burning stove in a country cottage or farmhouse.
Dimensions approx:
- Width: 165cm (65,0 inches)
- Height: 140cm (55,0 inches)
- Width between jambs: 140cm (55 inches)
