An antique Victorian period fireplace made from Portoro Nero marble

About the Item

An attractive and richly coloured antique Victorian period fireplace made from very desirable Portoro Nero marble The arched panels with raised and fielded panels are centred by a keystone, a serpentine shelf rests on top. Note how the veins all run in the same vertical direction, creating an eye pleasing effect. Circa 1870 Nero Portoro is an Italian marble extracted only in Porto Venere in the Tuscany region. Its beauty is evident in the deep rich colours of the black and gold, it is this contrast that creates a most perfect combination of elegance found in no other stone. The quarry is exclusive and limited, this causes Portoro to be at the top of the marble prices.
