A pair of Statuary, granite and ormolu Chimney-pieces

Pair Modern reproduction
This pair of Chimney-pieces are influenced by the Roman workshops producing Chimney-pieces at the end of the 18th Century. Decorative 'antique' Roman marbles were inset into white marble grounds to tremendous ornamental effect.
This pair of small Chimney-pieces with black and white granite and ormolu ornaments are designed to reflect the brilliance of that era.
One of a pair of simple, refined, contemporary, statuary and black and white Granite Chimney-pieces in the manner of those produced in Rome at the end of the 18th century. Let into the solid blocks of Statuary marble are sections of veneered antique Black and White Granite. Framing the panels are lengths of ormolu bead mouldings and the blockings are also decorated with gilded ormolu Pateraes. In the late 18th century manner the  statuary marble plinths are carved, and raised, in the traditional Roman fashion, upon plinths formed from veneered antique Breccia d’Alep marble.
