A superb quality hand carved fire surround dating from the first half of the 19th Century.
Made
from a hardwood and very heavy and robust, it has developed a colour
which looks like carved stone and this could either be left or waxed to
give sheen or stained and waxed to match in with oak or other interior
woods.
Beautiful craftsmanship, the deep canopy frieze centred
with a shield carved in high relief with curled leaf vines issuing from
the mouths of two dogs. The lower inset frieze of well carved rosette
tracery. The triple cluster pilasters with substantial shaped feet and
scrolled cappings, topped with crouching figures - one playing a lute
and the other carrying a quill. Both dressed in medieval robes and each
with distinctive humour and "personality".
Condition: some small
repairs and some chips to edges of pilasters. The tip of the scribe`s
quill is missing as is the tip of the lute. Requires a mantle shelf
which we can arrange to make in your choice of oak or marble at cost.
