Selecting an Antique Fireplace
When selecting an antique fireplace, proportions, material and period are key considerations. Ceiling height, room scale and architectural context all influence which mantel is most suitable. Our collection includes both marble and limestone fireplaces, ranging from refined Louis XV and Louis XVI designs to understated provincial and architectural stone surrounds.
We regularly advise interior designers and private clients on suitability, scale and installation requirements, particularly for international projects.
