Chesneys Buckingham Fireplace

Victorian design was nothing if not eclectic, and with this eclecticism came a new freedom from the architectural formality that typified earlier pieces. The Buckingham has superb hand carved corbels which support the reeded mantel shelf.

The jambs, although standing on the distinctive block feet, are ornamented by bold recessed panels and prominent, robustly carved corbels. The corbels served the practical purpose of supporting the deeper mantel shelf, but were also decorative features in themselves. In this model they are scrolled at either end, a detail adapted from the Ionic order of classical art, and terminate in a scalloped motif borrowed from the Rococo tradition. The frieze is left plain except for a recessed panel similar to those on the jambs; this sort of repeated detailing ensures that although several stylistic influences are evident, the overall appearance is harmonious. Shown in Carrara marble with the Ornate arched register grate and slate hearthstone.
