content: Chimneypiece design with over mantle mirror. The mantle has a scalloped cartouche with acanthus leaves at its center. The pilasters on the sides of the mirror feature intersecting scroll ornamentation, rosettes, and flowers. The frame of the mirror is exuberantly carved at the top with an oval rondel, fluted scrolls, split leaves, and flower garlands. The panels on either side are decorated with varying motifs of scrolls, split leaves, and scallops, although the right-side panel also features a female mascaron near the top. At the bottom of the plate there is a cross section of the "Plan du Chambranle et / de la tablette" as well as a scale bar of four French feet ("4 pieds"). The plate is signed and numbered.
