The most elaborate fireplace I've ever seen. A+ photography, R. Might be a good place to warm up and dry off after being soaked on a boat.

A magnificent example of marble carving. The sitting area will really get warm because of the ceiling.

Unbelievable, what a decadence. Outstanding shot however Richie.

One has also saved costs. While sitting around the fireplace, a spark screen is not required because of the distance, lol.

Wow that is some fireplace - so intricate and possibly a bit overdone for normal folks but perfect for the landed gentry. Excellent lighting Richie to capture all that excess.
