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.

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.

These Edwardian Neoclassical fireplace surrounds are fashioned from white marble with an overall white colour. Each architectural surround presents an inverted breakfront top with a double moulded edge, supported by scrolled corbels. The central frieze displays carved fruit swags tied with ribbon bows, flanked by upright supports enriched with floral decoration, fluted scroll elements, and bead moulding around the inner opening. The pair stands 146 cm high, 199 cm wide, and 28 cm deep. Appropriate for a large period property, country house, townhouse, or interior design project, these matched statement pieces serve as functional architectural elements in a principal reception room or drawing room. They display minor age-related marks consistent with use while retaining their classical appearance. Installation requires a professional stone mason to secure the surrounds against a masonry chimney breast.

FAQs

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.
