A PERIOD LATE 18TH CENTURY GEORGE III CHIMNEYPIECE CARVED IN WHITE STATUARY MARBLE. The moulded inverted breakfront shelf sits above a frieze centred by a rectangular tablet carved with a roundel of Cupid holding a bow. Cupid is attended by two winged putti holding a quiver of arrows while a pair of love birds fly in the foreground, suspended from ribbon tied drapery. The roundel is flanked by tied sheaves of wheat and the side blocks are carved with flowers, supported by jambs with outset columns with Ionic capitals on block feet. English, late 18th century.
