Francois & Co. Josephine Mantel

This exquisite Louis XVI mantel exemplifies neoclassical craftsmanship with its refined architectural details. Flanking the opening are two fluted half columns serving as jambs, each crowned with capitals adorned with intricately carved acanthus leaves. The frieze showcases masterful sculptural work featuring a quiver, bow, and delicate laurel branches—classical motifs symbolizing victory and distinction. An ideal centerpiece for period homes or discerning collectors seeking authentic French design elements that command presence and elegance.
