Antique wedding stone fireplace

This beautiful antique stone fireplace is called "wedding fireplace" because of the finely carved heart that appears in the center of the lintel. This sculpture is a sign of love and indicates that this fireplace was ordered for an engagement. It was then installed in the new house of the spouses.

The sides of this fireplace as well as the jambs offer beautiful sculptures of flowers, foliage, panels, volutes and moldings. The tablet is thin and features the same elegant movement of the low-arched lintel. A hook appears on each curved jamb. They were once used to hang a spindle. The sides of this fireplace were so damaged that we had to replace them.

This wonderful antique fireplace has a great historical authenticity
