French Marble Mantel

Louis XV style marble mantle with “Trois Rocaille” Carving, circa 1880. Carved from a lustrous black marble (possibly Portor St. Laurent ), this deeply carved piece has exceptional movement. The molded pilaster legs take a sinuous cabriole form, and are topped by well-defined shells and rolled motif molding. Front and center on the lintel are found an exceptionally beautiful scallop shell and a single dangling bell-flower.
