A large Antique French Louis XVI Fireplace In Breche Violette Marble

Finely carved corner blocks of square Patarae surmount console cantered jambs with fluted decoration. The bow fronted frieze of running flutes, beneath a very generous and incredibly variated bow fronted mantel. The side returns paneled and all stood on foot blockings.
