This is a carving of our fireplace mantel. We have no idea of it's history. It looks like a wine making scene possibly Dom Perignon. Our house was built in 1910. We think this may be original. Any info would be helpful.

Very beautiful !
oh very nice
Looks to be very well done. Detailed right down to the offset of the joints of the blocks in the wall and a tilted shelf where it would be anchored to the mortar joint. Who ever did this had an eye for detail and reality rather than making everything perfect.
I wonder if identifying the insignia/carving symbol in the pillars would shed any light on a possible religious order of monks etc. That carving isn't something I would expect to see and therefore I tend to assume it had a meaning to the individual who did the work or a relationship to the image.
