MARBLE SURROUNDS
For the Georgian landed gentry, amarble fireplace was a symbol ofaffluence and continental goodtaste, a more refined choice thanits stone predecessors. It was alsothe perfect place to exhibit TheOrders – the rules of proportionand decoration, derived fromancient Greek and Romanbuildings, which governed
architectural beauty at the time andinfluenced later styles. Inspired bythe late-18th-century designer afterwhom it is named, our newEmpire-style THOMAS HOPEmantel (above and overleaf) iscarved by hand from the finestImperial white marble; its taperedcolumns recall the ancient Egyptianaesthetic. Every one of our marble
fireplaces is the result ofpainstaking labour from a team of highly accomplished craftsmen.Processes include cutting theblocks of marble, ‘boxing’ oradding the rebates, hand-carvingthe corbels, architraves and other details, and honing toa tactile sheen.
