An architectural fireplace with stone trumeau from the early 19th century

This wonderful antique fireplace has a straight and slender trumeau that makes it very original.

This 19th century fireplace comes from a mansion house in the city of Saint-Même located near the city of Cognac. The fireplace is composed of a white limestone Tufa and was created along with another similar fireplace (item reference: CHA547). Its white color gives it a clean aesthetic appearance.

Its jambs are also very simple, thin and straight and its lintel has a rectangular shape.

Only the upper part of the fireplace is ornamented with several carving details: The trumeau was carved with several moldings of different sizes creating a wall centerpiece. The cornice was also carefully sculpted.

This fireplace is perfect for spacious rooms with high ceiling.
