Marble Fireplace

A white marble fireplace mantel, listed with our new limestone fireplace mantels and one of the few in that group that is not limestone. The design is simple: a stepped profile with crisp corners, an upper moulding of several narrow bands that throw fine shadow lines around the opening, and substantial block feet. The marble is mist gray, clean white and soft silver, with fine graphite veins running vertically through the legs; the surface is smooth and takes daylight quietly.

It measures 55 1/4 inches wide, 5 3/4 inches deep and 49 1/2 inches high, with an opening 39 inches wide and 41 1/4 inches high. At under 6 inches deep it sits close to the wall. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop, and it ships in sections with a setting drawing for the mason.

It suits a living room, a primary suite, a library or a quiet reading room, with warm oak floors, linen and soft plaster to set the cool stone off. It is a quieter choice than a limestone fireplace mantel with relief work, and the fine veining rewards a close look. See it by appointment in Marina Del Rey, or ask us for photographs and a quote.
