A fine English fireplace mantel featuring an allegorical scene of a woman playing the lyre. Fluting is featured on jambs and frieze, the jambs are also embellished with carved round paterae and are surmounted by end-blockings decorated with carved urns.
HAND CARVED
All of our stonework designs can also be hand-carved to order from the finest hand-picked French limestone and Italian marble. Whether your project requires blocks cut-to-size, or hand-carved, we insist on strict pre-selection criteria for our slabs and blocks. Our mantles are also available hand-carved from the very best French limestone or Italian marble. These wonderful reproductions are mirror images of the original antiques.
SCAGLIOLA STONE
By extracting the essence of the Scagliola technique, Thierry François created an original process by which all forms of hand-crafted limestone — including marbles — have the look of natural, hand-cut stone. This extraordinary stone inlay and “cross batch” technique is one-of-a-kind.
