This fireplace is one of a pair with no. 4. They most likely were originally in a piano nobile (principal first floor rooms linked by a large doorway so as to make one room for entertaining). The practice was often to have the wooden frames of the same design and size but the decorative elements would be different , as is the case with these two.
