LOUIS XV POMPADOUR PIED GALBÉ FIREPLACE IN RED ROSSO ASIAGO MARBLE OF ANCIENT QUARRYING (this marble is very different from that currently quarried one because of its lobster coloring, so much so that in ancient times it was marketed by French merchants all over the world under the name "BRÈCHE ORANGE"), FOUND IN FRANCE, ITALIAN SCULPTURE, LATE 19TH CENTURY PERIOD.
Very rare and very perfect Louis XV “Pieds Galbés” fireplace. Why, you ask, is it extremely rare, if it is written everywhere on this site that you have about thirty such fireplaces in Carrara White in storage? But why, if it is true as it is that any dealer in antique fireplaces has a Pied Galbé on display (white...), it is also true that finding them in beautiful colors is very, very difficult.. To then find one in an Asiago Red with tones close to lobster like this is almost impossible. Don't believe me, try it to believe it, with a few phone calls to the various Italian dealers of antique fireplaces you will realize that these are not fole, my.. The fact is that in the nineteenth century, mica they knew that you, men and women of the three thousand, would melt in front of this color of his, the stonemasons of the time continued to carve mantels in White Carrara because the demand of the time was mainly that, that's all, the arcane!
It costs a lot, and lest you pass for a thief, I urge you to check how the same fireplace, in Bianco Carrara, can cost even a few hundred euros less (and is just as beautiful..). But its high cost depends on you making more demands than the antiques market offers and so, the harsh law of the market punishes you!!!
This fireplace mantel is PERFECT...
