Fine Pair of Large Antique Edwardian Carved White Marble Fireplaces

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine pair of large antique Edwardian white marble fireplaces, dating to circa 1901, each beautifully carved and of impressive architectural proportions.

Each fireplace has an inverted breakfront top with a double moulded edge, supported by substantial carved marble scroll brackets. The frieze is centred by a finely carved decorative panel with bows and fruit, giving the fireplaces a refined classical appearance typical of the Edwardian period.

The upright supports are richly detailed with carved ornament, including fluted scroll elements and floral decoration, while the inner opening is framed by a carved repeating moulding. The scale and quality of the carving make these particularly striking examples, and the fact that they survive as a pair makes them especially desirable.

These would be ideal for a large period property, country house, townhouse or interior design project where a matched pair of statement fireplaces is required.

Condition report: Exemplary first-class examples in fabulous condition, with only minor age-related marks consistent with their age and use.

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.
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.
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.

Edwardian neoclassical fireplaces draw inspiration from 18th-century classical revival motifs, featuring symmetrical proportions, refined relief carvings such as fruit swags and ribbon bows, and structured corbel supports.

Solid white marble blocks were hand-carved and hand-polished by skilled stonemasons, using concealed slate linings and iron tie-backs to secure the heavy structure to the chimney breast.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle hand-chiseled tool marks on unseen rear surfaces, natural veining variations within the marble, and historical metal fixing points along the jambs.

Carved marble surrounds serve as focal architectural anchors in modern rooms, contrasting effectively against simplified wall finishes, minimalist artwork, or contemporary lighting fixtures.

White marble requires cleaning with pH-neutral stone soap and soft distilled water, avoiding acidic cleansers or abrasive cloths that cause permanent etching to the polished surface.
