Antique Marble Mantels for Design Projects

Our collection consists of reclaimed, original and unique pieces sourced across France, Belgium, Italy and The Netherlands in Europe—selected for their carving quality, patina, and material character. This page covers our current collection of antique marble mantles, chimneypieces and fireplace surrounds.

Antique Marble Fireplaces Styles (French, Italian & European)

We offer a wide range of European styles—each with distinct proportions and architectural detailing. Availability changes, but our collection often includes:

• Louis XV — elegant curves, rococo ornaments, softer profiles
• Louis XVI — refined symmetry, neoclassical lines, fluting and guilloche motifs, eg Louis XVI Escalette marble fireplace surround.
• Directoire & Empire — disciplined geometry, stronger massing, classical references
• Regency — understated, balanced detailing and clean mouldings
• Napoleon III — richer carving, bolder contrasts, decorative presence
• Art Nouveau / early 20th century — organic lines and softer transitions (occasionally)

If you are specifying for a period renovation or aiming for contrast in a contemporary interior, we can shortlist pieces by style, opening size, and overall width/height.

Key Marble Types in Our Collection

Antique marble fireplaces are as much about material as they are about form. Commonly found marbles in our stock include:

• Carrara — light, crisp white-to-grey with fine veining
• Statuary — brighter white with elegant grey veining (when available)
• Arabescato — dramatic grey veining and movement on a pale base
• Calacatta — bold, warmer veining with high contrast (when available)
• Breccia / Breche marbles — fragment-like patterning and strong visual depth
• Rouge Royal / other red marbles — deep colour, classic European statement material
• Noir / black marbles — strong, architectural look; often used for graphic contrast
• Portoro — black with gold veining (rare; when available)

Each mantel is unique—tone, veining, and patina vary per piece. We can advise on how a specific marble reads under natural and artificial light, and how it pairs with flooring, wall finishes, and metalwork.

What is the difference between an antique mantle, mantelpiece, chimneypiece and surround?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they can refer to slightly different parts of an antique fireplace. A mantel (or mantle) usually means the shelf and visible framing around the opening. Mantelpiece is the common UK term for the complete decorative marble fireplace front. Chimneypiece is a traditional architectural term (often used in the UK) for an ornate fireplace composition, typically including the jambs and the overmantel/shelf. A surround refers specifically to the marble frame around the fire opening (legs/jambs and lintel/header), not necessarily including an overmantel or extra upper structure.
