Monumental antique fireplace in Rouge Royal marble – Richly ornamented masterpiece
Description
This monumental antique fireplace is a rare piece, crafted in the elegant Louis XV style and made from exceptionally thick, richly veined Rouge Royal marble. This prestigious natural stone stands out with its deep, intense red base, traversed by bold white and grey veining – a striking pattern that immediately catches the eye.
The design reflects the graceful language of the Louis XV or Rococo style. Though richly adorned with organic lines and decorative curves, the overall composition remains classically symmetrical – offering visual calm and refined balance.
Its ornamental richness is remarkable: deeply carved rocaille motifs (shell forms), delicate floral and leaf garlands, and elegant volutes come together in a harmonious whole. These refined details continue along the robust, sculpted jambs, which support the mantel with both strength and ornament.
A true statement piece that combines grandeur, craftsmanship, and ornamental splendor – ideal for those seeking a luxurious focal point in a classic or eclectic interior.
This fireplace also has a distinguished provenance: for over twenty years, it adorned the grand halls of the former Royal Residence in Sassenheim. (Visit our Instagram for a video of this exceptional piece.)
