The Soane Pattern IV

This chimneypiece exemplifies Soane's unique ability to reinterpret 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 chimneypiece was originally commissioned for a property in Grosvenor Square, London in 1803. It is shown here in white marble with the 22" Byron forged steel fire basket and black slate hearth and slips.
