Antique Fireplace Mantels & Architectural Antiques
Antique Fireplaces & Reclaimed Flooring for Design‑Led Projects Worldwide
De Opkamer is a Netherlands‑based specialist supplying interior designers and architects worldwide with antique fireplace mantels (marble & limestone), reclaimed stone & oak flooring and distinctive architectural ornaments. For over 30 years we have built one of the world’s largest curated collections, with ~800 antique mantels in stock.
We personally salvage chimneypieces in situ in Paris, Lille and Brussels; conservation is carried out by our two in‑house restorers. Three specialist mantel builders perform installations across Europe. For floors, we stock ~3,000 m² of Burgundy limestone & Belgian bluestone and ~5,000 m² of French terracotta — supported by in‑house ISPM‑15 crating and insured worldwide shipping.

What We Do
De Opkamer sources, restores and prepares authentic European architectural antiques for design-led interiors. We focus on original 18th–19th century fireplaces (mantels / chimneypieces), reclaimed stone & terracotta flooring, and characterful architectural & garden elements.
Every piece entering our collection is assessed for structural integrity, provenance and suitability for modern installation. We document dimensions and installation notes so architects, designers and private clients can specify with confidence.
- Who: De Opkamer – family-run specialist in antique fireplaces, reclaimed flooring & architectural antiques.
- What: Curated originals + in-house restoration, installation support & worldwide shipping.
- Where: Showroom in Made (The Netherlands) with adjacent warehouse & atelier.
Fireplaces & Chimneypieces
Our mantel program centres on historic marble and limestone—from finely carved Louis XV / Louis XVI profiles to understated provincial surrounds and imposing castle-scale pieces. Each fireplace is carefully surveyed, cleaned and stabilised in our workshop.
For each piece we provide dimensions, jointing, hearth options and flue/inset guidelines. Installation support is available through specialist mantel builders, coordinating on-site requirements, structural considerations and appliance integration across Europe.

Reclaimed Stone & Terracotta Flooring
We handle reclaimed flooring with project-grade preparation: thickness sorting, light calibration where needed, batch labelling and layout guidance. Batches are selected for colour harmony, wear patterns and historic character to ensure a cohesive architectural result.
For underfloor heating, we share technical guidelines to align substrate, adhesive systems and tile thickness.
- Burgundy Limestone (Dalles de Bourgogne)
- Belgian Bluestone (Pierre Bleue / Arduin)
- French Terracotta (hexagonal & square)
Architectural & Garden Elements
Our architectural antiques and outdoor pieces—stone troughs, wellheads, statuary, pedestals, urns, sinks and cast-iron firebacks—are selected for proportion, surface ageing and regional craftsmanship. These elements integrate beautifully into landscape architecture, pool houses and heritage restorations.
Salvage, Restoration & Workshop Methods
Our in-situ salvage uses authentic dismantling: documenting stone sequences, protecting fragile marble and removing centuries-old components without structural loss. In the workshop we prioritise conservation over replacement, using reversible techniques and stone-matching for infill repairs.
Both mantels and flooring are prepared with installation drawings, recommended jointing methods and material-specific handling guidelines to support architects, builders and installers.
Crating, Export & Worldwide Logistics
We crate in-house using ISPM‑15 compliant timber, moisture protection, foam-in-place and cross-braced supports. We coordinate worldwide freight—road, air and sea—and provide export documentation, packing lists and insured transport options. Trade clients benefit from consolidated shipments and direct communication at every stage.
