IT'S A SIXTY-SOMETHING, THIS FIREPLACE, IN THE SENSE THAT IT WAS BORN BETWEEN THE 1960S AND 1970S....
SO WE CAN'T CALL IT ANTIQUE, BUT CERTAINLY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS IT HAS SEVERAL QUALITIES, TODAY ALMOST ENTIRELY NO LONGER FOUND IN MODERN FIREPLACES:
1) THE OBVIOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE SCULPTOR WHO BROUGHT IT INTO THE WORLD, A QUALITY THAT JUMPS OUT AT EVEN THE LAYMAN;
2) THE CARE IN THE DESIGN, STARTING FROM THE BORDERS, FROM THE “SHELLING” WITH WHICH THE UNDERPLATE WAS MADE, WHICH CARE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT ITS “DESIGN” WAS PUT TO INK BY A GOOD DRAFTSMAN, MOST LIKELY AN ARCHITECT;
3) LAST BUT NOT LEAST QUALITATIVE FEATURE, THE EMILIAN STONE WITH WHICH IT WAS CARVED, BARDI STONE, IS KNOWN IN THE INSIDER WORLD AS A VERY STURDY, MORE TENACIOUS AND THEREFORE HARDER TO CARVE, BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, CAPABLE OF LASTING INDEFINITELY... FEW TYPES OF “SANDSTONE” ARE AS STRONG.
A GREAT LITTLE WORK OF ART AND CRAFTSMANSHIP, WHICH WE CAN OFFER YOU AT A SMALL PRICE.
