About this piece
back to topA Breche Violette marble fireplace surround in the bolection style, dating from the late 18th century. Its large size indicates that it was likely once used in a main room, perhaps as a decorative marble fireplace surround in the drawing room of a large property. Sourced from a country house in Shropshire, this antique marble fireplace is creamy white in colour outlined with veins in purple shades, making for a striking design. Though this marble bolection fireplace has lived for more than 200 years and has a slightly discoloured, time-worn appearance and discreet historical repair to the top, it is in good condition. The marble showcases a beautiful patina, decorated with a moulded frieze and jambs. This design is simply timeless bringing elegance to both modern and traditional settings alike.
