Louis XV Fire Surround

An extremely rare opportunity to own an original antique Louis XV fire surround. 

The style of 18th century French architecture was guided by the court.

When Louis XV, who reigned from 1715-74 focussed royal life on the smaller salons of Versailles rather than its grand chambers , it transformed the aesthetics away from the imposing and angular interior architecture that that characterised the style of Louis XIV.

A broader focus on comfort and more delicate forms define the period identifying this piece as classic Louis XV.  

Immaculately restored and period original to mid 1700’s, this is a very rare find in Australia, particularly since it was almost certainly manufactured before Cooks discovery of Australia.
