An impressive large antique pine and gesso fireplace mantel and designed in the Adam Revival style.
A particularly decorative example, featuring finely detailed applied gesso ornament throughout. The wide frieze is decorated with classical floral swags, ribbons and central motifs, while the substantial uprights feature Ionic capitals, beaded borders and delicate urn and foliate decoration.
The stripped pine has developed a lovely warm colour and contrasts beautifully with the aged gesso detailing. There are signs of age, wear and some losses to the applied decoration, all consistent with an original antique surround and adding to its character.
At nearly 1.7 metres across the shelf, this is a substantial statement mantel ideally suited to a larger period room.
Approximate dimensions:
Overall height: 1435mm
Shelf width: 1675mm
Width at base: 1400mm
Opening: 1110mm high × 1060mm wide
