A bold and very grand Louis XV Rococo fireplace in a buttery yellow Siena marble. This fireplace is truly a statement piece, with a wonderfully ornate frieze, centred by a mask of Hercules wearing the Nemean lionskin. This cartouche is framed with foliate scrollwork which is echoed on the corners of the panelled frieze, and also on the canted, console jambs.

French, mid-20th century.

Notes: This fireplace was clearly influenced by the Salon de Hercules in The Palace of Versailles. After Antoine Vassé.
