Material, craftsmanship and period context

Paonazzo is an Italian marble from Tuscany, recognised for its lively, contrasting veining that reads well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. On this surround, the veining creates a clear visual rhythm across the shelf and jambs.

The Régence style references French transitional design language; this example is dated to the 19th century and offered as a single, unique piece from our current collection.
