Description
This fireplace is a large, statement piece, and features the striking, banded emerald-green tones of malachite, the semi-precious stone which covers the entire surface of the work. Uncompromisingly decadent, it is easy to imagine how this fireplace would sparkle and gleam like a jewel with a fire lit within its hearth.
The fireplace is of typical horse-shoe form, and features tapered pilasters to either side which are mounted to the top and bottom with acanthus-leaf form ormolu mounts. The fireplace also features an egg-and-dart ormolu frieze running around the top and base, as well as around the curved interior. Taking pride of place at the centre of the design is a large, ormolu shell, surrounded by c-scrolls and exceptionally intricate roses.
