The city of Poitiers in the region of Poitou-Charentes, France, was the home of the Clemente mantel. Circa 1750, it is a beautiful example of a classic Louis XV style mantel. Its curved lines and thin, delicate jambs make it a rare piece. The Clemente features curved paneled legs and a serpentine molded shelf with a delicate shell carving at its center.
By extracting the essence of the Scagliola technique, Thierry François created an original process by which all forms of hand-crafted limestone — including marbles — have the look of natural, hand-cut stone. This extraordinary stone inlay and “cross batch” technique is one-of-a-kind.
