A masterful work of sculpture and architecture, this enchanting hand-carved fireplace mantle features a whimsical and romantic Rococo-inspired design. The pièce de résistance is a pair of beautifully rendered cherubs seated upon voluminous scroll bases, each surrounded by cascading vines, floral swags, and fruit garlands. The frieze is adorned with a central shield-style cartouche flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves, shells, and delicately carved classical figures in low relief. The curved mantel shelf adds movement and softness to the overall form, perfectly balancing the ornate carvings below. Warm in tone and rich in detail, this fireplace is an ideal centerpiece for interiors that embrace storytelling, classical beauty, or French-inspired elegance.
