A Large Chimneypiece by Sir Edwin Lutyens

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ebury Trading
Description

A rare opportunity to own a piece of furniture designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

This large chimneypiece was designed by Lutyens for Papillon Hall, Leicestershire in 1903. It is made of hand carved mahogany and has a beautiful patina. There is a deep mantle shelf above the fire surround and a servant's bell to the right. The associated rouge marble bolection can be used/adapted. The house was demolished in 1951 and this chimneypiece has been privately owned ever since, after being rescued from the billiard room, for which it was made.

c.1903

Measures: 256cm high x 202cm wide x 28cm deep, Bolection opening 112cm wide x 104cm high, Mantlepiece 171cm wide x 23cm deep

XVII Century Papillon Hall was remodelled by Lutyens in 1903 along the lines of Chesters, a house Lutyens admired. Papillon had three principle wings, the salon, the dining room and the billiard room. As items like these would be prohibited from being removed today, this is a very rare example of a large scale work by Lutyens becoming available for sale.

Attached is Lutyens plan for the house, with the ‘Own’ Room, being in fact the Billiard Room. Country Life have kindly let use images from their archive of the house before it was demolished.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sir Edwin Lutyens combined Arts and Crafts craftsmanship with Classical proportions, creating timber chimneypieces featuring geometric mouldings and integrated overmantel panels.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-grade mahogany, walnut, or oak with hand-cut joinery, moulded cornices, and French-polished finishes to complement period interiors.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise joinery details, natural timber patination, hand-worked mouldings, and structural proportioning tailored to grand architectural settings.

A substantial timber surround serves as a focal point in a contemporary living space, creating a strong architectural anchor when paired with minimalist artwork or contemporary seating.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, avoiding direct heat exposure and chemical cleaning agents.
