Stock No.15859
A large and grand Renaissance Revival chimneypiece in Walnut. The inverted breakfront overmantel has a large cornice, which is supported by twin Corinthian freestanding columns. These flank the panelled frieze, which is centred by a beautiful panel carved with fantastical putti holding cornucopia, from which mythical birds pluck fruit. This large overmantel sits above the main chimneypiece, which is also a grand affair. The frieze is evenly placed with both triglyphs and biglyphs between finely carved foliate panels in low relief. Fluted and collared columns on large footblocks support the shelf.
English, c.1880.
