A tall and elegant antique English 18th century veined Carrara marble chimneypiece 

This fine and unique Georigan fire surround made from Italian Carrara marble features a tiered moulded shelf and a distinctive curved fluted frieze on a simple moulded frame.

Please note how the mason cut the marble so that the veins run in the same eye-pleasing direction, and that the top half of the fire surround is carved from one single block of marble with the veins running straight through.

Circa 1790
