A 19th Century, Louis XV Style Statuary Marble Rococo Chimneypiece.
Each canted jamb is festooned with carved foliage ranging from great curls of acanthus to prim flowers. It is likely this chimneypiece is a celebration of conjugal love and unity, the bearded bust the husband and the female bust, wearing a bridal band, his wife. The bride and groom are sheltered beneath a canopy of acanthus.
