Antique Louis XVI-Style Carved Limestone Fireplace Mantel (M-15L)

Antique Louis XVI limestone mantel with a carved ribbon-tied trophy frieze, scrolled acanthus corner brackets, and fluted jambs.

This refined antique fireplace mantel is hand-carved from limestone in the neoclassical Louis XVI style. The central frieze features a beautifully carved trophy motif, bound with a ribbon bow and flanked by flowing acanthus leaves a classic decorative device of 18th-century French design. Bold scrolled acanthus brackets curl at each corner, transitioning gracefully into fluted panel jambs below.
