A rare Edward Pugin Gothic Revival fireplace, carved from Caen stone and marble.
The fine rose red breccia marble shelf and carved undershelf are flanked by projecting faceted endblocks. Beneath the shelf are a pair of high relief spandrels, carved with ivy leaves and perhaps aspen leaves on the other side, flanking the pointed arch opening. The wide jambs are fronted by cippolino marble columns, with foliate capitals and statuary marble bases typical of E Pugin's work. The whole fireplace is raised on large faceted footblocks. English, circa 1860.
Notes: Edward Pugin was the son of A.W.N Pugin, and an eminent architect in his own right. He was a leading proponent of the Gothic Revival style, and designed many ecclesiastical and domestic buildings. After his father's death, he was tasked with finishing many of his commissions, which led him to build his own successful portfolio. This particular fireplaces is almost identical to one found in Pugin's family house The Grange, in Ramsgate. The fireplace still in situ was designed by Edward as part of his remodelling of the family home designed by his father, and our fireplace is very likely to have been designed by him for the house too. It is probably the case, that as this house fell into a poor state of repair, the fireplace was removed and sold on.

Notes: Caen Stone is a light and creamy yellow Jurassic limestone formed approximately 167 million years ago and quarried near the City of Caen in north western France. It was used in the building of many historic French churches and abbeys and was also partially used in the construction of Canterbury Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London in England.

A fine Gothic Revival Caen stone chimneypiece, attributed to John Middleton (1820–1885). This grand chimneypiece has double columned jambs in a garnet coloured Serpentine marble which support a Languedoc marble shelf. The fireplace bears attributes of Norman ecclesiastical architecture, with zigzag mouldings framing both the frieze and the arched opening due not only to Middleton’s passion for church architecture but also reflecting the great religious revival of the nineteenth century; the Oxford movement perhaps being the most famous.
It is likely to have come from a grand Gothic Revival House in Cheltenham or its environs. It would have no doubt come from a room of grand proportions and it certainly would have made a magnificent centrepiece.
English, circa 1870.
Notes: Orphaned from a young age, Middleton was left only a modest allowance which he used to train as an architect in the North of England. He did however manage to travel to Europe, which influenced his style a great deal. Middleton went on to design a number of churches, residences and even railway stations in the favoured Gothic style of the period. Some of the most beautiful residences and public buildings he designed were in Cheltenham, including the Cheltenham Ladies College. Nearly every private residence he designed had a grand chimneypiece. These Gothic creations were hewn from both stone and marble, with grand columns and bold carving, not so different in design from gothic sedilia.

THE ITALIAN WARS
A monumental and imposing richly carved French walnut trumeau chimneypiece. The generously moulded cornice lies above a dramatically carved arched central panel dominating the trumeau frieze and depicting a scene of battle probably relating to the eighth Italian War (1551-1559) when Henry II of France declared war against Charles V ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. The panel is flanked on either side by two large carved horned and winged mythical beasts and the whole rests on the wide and sturdy fireplace surround beneath.
The deep shelf of the fireplace surround, with its carved alternating bossed frieze, sits above a pair of robust fluted columns with Corinthian capitals and stepped footblocks and the deep set fireplace opening is topped by a finely carved and decorative border detail.
French, mid 19th century.
Notes: The 1551-1559 Italian War was also known as the Habsburg – Valois War. There were a series of conflicts from 1494 to 1559 that involved, at various times, most of the city-states of Italy, the Papal States, most of the major states of Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Originally arising from dynastic disputes over the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Naples, the wars rapidly became a general struggle for power and territory among their various participants, and were marked with an increasing number of alliances, counter-alliances and betrayals.

The term Renaissance, used here, covers other related periods, styles and regions. Antique Italian Renaissance fireplaces for example are still to be found in the Palazzo’s and Villa’s of Venice and Florence. Antique Gothic, Renaissance, Elizabethan, Tudor and Jacobean fireplace mantels can be found in many a great English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish & American Town or Country House or Palace. During the 18th and 19th centuries the Neo Gothic, Renaissance, Jacobean and Tudor Revival Periods occured when a style or pastiche of a style became fashionable in traditional projects and this practice continues to the present day.
Viewing our range of Antique Gothic, Renaissance and Jacobean fireplaces, chimneypieces and mantels may contain just the one to suit your needs.
Gothic fireplaces
The Gothic style, with its origins in medieval Europe, endured the centuries to remain a popular building style. It perhaps enjoyed its greatest revival in the Victorian period, where architects such as AWN Pugin designed grand private residences in the Gothic Revival style. These buildings were adorned with Gothic stone fireplaces with intricate carved tracery and arched openings. A Gothic fireplace can also be carved from beautiful marbles, infinite in their variety, and even made from a wonderful melange of multiple marbles, so that the Gothic fireplace surround can stand out even more against its iron or masonry interior.
Such Gothic antiques look beautiful when displayed in period interiors, but they needn’t be confined to period homes. A Gothic fireplace can look beautifully striking when installed within a more contemporary home, especially if there are other Gothic antiques within the same interior.
Tudor, Renaissance and Jacob fireplaces
In Europe, the Renaissance fireplace was rooted in the classical traditions of antiquity, most often emerging as columned fireplaces carved with classical motifs and mythical creatures. In 16th century England, the Tudor fireplace combined elements of the European Renaissance fireplace, with the forms of the English Gothic fireplace to create a grand style that was most often rendered in stone. The Tudor fireplace was most often confined to manor houses and larger stately homes, as more modest properties were still using simple inglenooks. Later, the Jacobean fireplace emerged, a profusion of carving most often in wood and like the Tudor fireplace surround, sometimes in stone.
