Stone fireplace mantels

France’s succession of Period styles through the centuries can be followed through our stone fireplace mantels. We do our best to source antique stone fireplaces from medieval and Gothic era through the Royal 17^th and 18^th centuries through to the post-Revolutionary 19^th century styles. An antique stone fireplace, depending on choice, can bring a sense of solidity and strength, through to refined elegance.

Limestone fireplace mantels

The fireplaces and chimneypieces in our stone category are mostly in French limestone, but sometimes we’ll have them in sandstone, schist or slate. All our old fireplaces have been carefully reclaimed in order to preserve the quality of these genuine works of art.

All our antique chimneypieces, inevitably more than 100 years of age, are the subject of an application to the French Ministry of Culture to obtain an export certificate for each one.
