One-Off Fireplace Commission
Installing a Custom Fireplace, Hand-Carved from Limestone
We were approached by a client to try and source an original Louix the 15th fireplace. The client offered us an image of a piece they found but it was already sold. After further searching and finding nothing available as nice, we offered the solution of one of our stone masons to create a new piece to match that of the one we had been shown.
Our stonemasons presented several design sketches and it was decided to make it a complete working fireplace rather than a façade. We invited the client to visit whilst the piece was being hand carved from limestone and the result was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
Client's Review
'We asked Tom to help create fireplace in our home which was a real puzzle due to its location and age. We wanted a piece which would dominate the room but fit in perfectly. Tom helped us find a master stonemason to carve the surround and he worked with the chimney experts on making sure the design could work both aesthetically, practically and legally with all the regulations. The final product is a stunning centrepiece for our room and is much admired, especially by us! It works brilliantly, never again have we had a room full of smoke.
Throughout all these works Tom and the team have been friendly, helpful, kind to our children and very professional. It has been a joy to have them in our home. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. Thank you.'
