French Louis XV Bourguignon Stone Fireplace Surround fireback Some traces of old paintDETAILS This elegant, antique, French fireplace mantel was beautifully hand carved in Bourguignon stone. The slightly shaped mantel surmounts a frieze with a very lovely, stylized shell at the center, flanked by rococo carving on the canted jambs; the jambs with a restrained cabriole form and incised, elongated reserves. This piece is the epitome of Louis XV style. DATE 18th century DIMENSIONS Width 61. 5 Depth 14. 5 Height 46. 5 inches Firebox: Width
