Small antique French limestone fireplace in Classic style
Reference : 2026023
This is a relatively small antique French limestone fireplace in Classic style, presumed 19th century, in good overall condition. It has simple stone side jambs with slightly projecting curved corbels each featuring twin recessed fluting. The lintel corresponds with modest elegance, featuring half-round profiles at each end, and an upper moulding running along the mantel shelf and each return.
This antique chimneypiece in a beige-tone limestone will have graced a bedroom or small study, rather than a large space.
