Question

what was carved upon the chimney piece?​

Answer 1

The chimney-piece is rarely of white marble: red marble, green marble and breecbia were the kinds most frequently employed in Louis XIV.'s time. The slabs of the tables and consoles should be of the same, unless they are of mosaic. Upon the chimney-piece, a Boulle clock, or one with a carved and gilded, or bronze frame, may stand.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chimneypiece, originally, a hood projecting from the wall over a grate, built to catch the smoke and direct it up to the chimney flue. It came to mean any decorative development of the same type or for the same purpose—e.g., a mantel, or mantelpiece. Chimneypiece.
