The Soane Pattern IV

This mantel exemplifies Soane's unique ability to re-interpret classical form and produce a design of stunning modernity. The inverted bow to the pilasters and stylised Greek Key motif could only have been conceived by Soane. The mantel was originally commissioned for a property in Grosvenor Square, London in 1803.

Shown here in statuary marble with the Byron forged steel fire basket and a black slate hearth and slips.
