Rustic 17th-century Louis XIV limestone fireplace

This charming 17th-century fireplace is a Louis XIV-style country mantel, hand-carved in white limestone. It exudes a rustic, timeless appeal.

A pair of straight console-shaped jambs rests on thick rectangular foot blocks. They support a monolithic lintel topped by a nice ogee cornice.

Reclaimed from a countryside house in Eastern France, this simple yet elegant fireplace bears a lovely light patina.

 It will easily outfit your living space no matter your decorating style. You can use it as either an open-hearth fireplace or fitted with a closed insert.
