Fireplace front in neoclassical style, mid-twentieth century. White marble and pink marble. In need of restoration. The piece will be delivered disassembled. It presents marks of use and wear; one piece detached. Measurements: 122 x 180 x 34,5 cm. Neoclassical style fireplace frontal, made entirely in marble: white for the caryatids and the swan, pink in the structural part and the festoons of flowers. Two sculptures of caryatids of Greek inspiration (filtered by the neoclassical taste) have been carved in white marble. With their right hand they lift the hems of their dresses, and with this gesture they cascade dynamic draperies. The draping of the drapery they hold over their heads to soften the weight of the entablature is also particularly well done. The lower part of the body takes the form of stilted pilasters perched on plinths. Their serene faces convey a timeless beauty. A swan or bird with a long neck worked in high relief and placed on a bed of leaf litter pecks at a rose in the center of the arch.
