Stock No.6626
A large and important Louis XV fireplace in fleur de pêcher marble, almost certainly inspired by those found at the Palace of Versailles. Carved from the most wonderful violet pink fleur de pêcher, it embraces the Rococo style popularised by Louis XV and his palace; with a serpentine form and glorious ormolu rocaille and figurative mounts in the manner of Jacques Caffiéri and his work at Versailles.
French, late 19th century.
