This very fine walnut fireplace features a bow-shaped (arbalète) front. The central section is richly carved with a Medici vase filled with flowers, flanked on either side by birds with outstretched wings, as well as honeycomb motifs set within reserves bordered by a delicate molding.
The jambs, animated on the front, display Regence-style carvings composed of curves, counter-curves, and leafy volutes. The shaped shelf, molded with a bec-de-corbin profile, was replaced in the past, as were the side returns.
