“LANGUETTE” FIREPLACE MANTEL IN "WHITE P" MARBLE (ALSO CALLED “STATUARIETTO”, THAT IS A MILKY, WARM WHITE WITH SOME GRAY OR BLACK INCLUSIONS ... MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI WOULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN IT FOR ITS PIETY, BUT IT REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND REFINED MARBLES OF CARRARA).
Classic Napoleon III (1860s/80s) architectural layout, so much patina and good preservation.
This fireplace proposes its elegant sobriety, it does not try to vex us with too many floral or leafy frills, to flatter us with added decorations, he is content, in my opinion with flattering results, to show its elegant lines as stylistically appropriate to Louis XVI and Neoclassical lines in general.
A beauty, in short, a la Catherine Deneuve rather than a la Ferilli...
Compared to its more decoratively laden siblings, however, it comes to us at not half the cost but nearly so..
You like it better now, don't you!
PARISIAN PROVENANCE, CONSTRUCTION PERIOD II HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, PERFECT PRESERVATION
