An exceptional Gothic Revival stone chimneypiece from Woodchester Mansion. Carved from soft buff coloured Bath stone, this chimneypiece is a celebration of nature, with a floral undershelf beautifully carved in high relief. This rests on a frieze carved with five foliate panels. One panel is carved with a vine, the other a flowering lily, the central panel depicts two birds devouring grapes from a vine, the next, a British oak laden with acorns, and the final panel, a fruiting ivy.
This beautiful carving is surpassed only on the spandrels, where on one side it is carved with a grapevine, and on the other a serpent is shown within a fruiting tree, evoking the story of Eve. The jambs are deftly carved with floral paterae and grapevines over moulded footblocks.
This piece is an extraordinary survival from the unfinished Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire. By repute it was designed and made for the mansion but was never installed as the building project was left unfinished. AWN Pugin drew up early plans for this house, but the project was later taken on by Benjamin Bucknall. It is uncertain whether this chimneypiece was designed by Pugin, or was in fact designed by Bucknall, but it does share many stylistic similarities to the stonework throughout the rest of the house. Sadly after the patron of the project died, his Gothic vision was never realised in full.
English, c.1860

The term Renaissance, used here, covers other related periods and styles in different regions. Antique Italian Renaissance fireplaces are still to be found in the Palazzi and Villas of Venice and Florence particularly. Antique Gothic, Renaissance, Elizabethan, Tudor and Jacobean fireplace mantels, including English and Scottish, likewise can be found in many a great English, Scottish, Irish, and later also American, Country or Town House, Residence or Palace. Gothic architecture preceded the Renaissance and later of course there were the Neo Gothic, Renaissance, Jacobean and Tudor Revival of the 18th and 19th centuries - when a style or pastiche of a style became fashionable, a trend which continues to this 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.
