This rare and refined original period French neoclassical fireplace surround is a striking example of 18th to early 19th-century craftsmanship, designed specifically for a music room. It is carved from elegant Bleu Turquin marble, a prestigious grey-blue stone prized for its cool, sophisticated tones, and features exquisitely detailed inlays of fine White Statuary marble.
The central frieze is a true celebration of the arts, with intricately carved musical instruments including a lyre, trumpets, tambourines, and panpipes, gracefully intertwined with laurel garlands. Each leg (jamb) displays a vertical festoon of instruments—such as horns, drums, and triangles—tied with delicate ribbons, confirming the surround’s original placement in a salon or chamber dedicated to music and culture.
Executed with exceptional skill and precision, the carving demonstrates a high level of artisanal mastery, with finely rendered details and harmonious proportions that make this piece a signature centerpiece for any bespoke interior.
