Soane Pattern IV

This Chesney's 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.
Shown here in statuary marble with the Byron forged steel fire basket and a black slate hearth.
