Design for a Mantelpiece with the Arms of Bavaria(?) 1800 - 1900

This anonymous drawing from the 1800s is a design for a mantelpiece, likely intended for a grand palace or home. It features a symmetrical design with two stylized figures flanking the central fireplace opening, with a decorative and ornate frieze above. The design incorporates elements of the Baroque and Rococo styles, common in 18th-century architecture and design, with its lavish ornamentation and dramatic curves. While the specific coat of arms is unclear, the intricate detail suggests it was likely commissioned for a prominent individual or family. The drawing's small scale suggests it was intended as a preliminary design for the larger project.
