Ormonde Fireplace by Jane Churchill for Chesney’s

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

The Ormonde Fireplace by Jane Churchill for ChesneysHistorically, fire surrounds incorporating a feature of carving have been popular, bringing refinement and depth to a room.

Jane Churchill’s fireplace designs for Chesney’s use entirely original ornamental motifs, not influenced by any designs in the history of carving.

In terms of fireplace design she has made a radical departure in the Ormonde Fireplace, offering an entirely unprecedented appreciation of the beautiful.

This design, in Cabouca Limestone, recognises the continuing popularity of a simple architectural form in fireplaces.

The repeating diamond motif and the geometric pattern with its raised and fielded panels has a strong contemporary feel to it, but incorporates more detail than many current minimalist designs.

Retail Price £1,169.

The Coral Fireplace by Jane Churchill and ChesneysRecognising the growing trend towards contemporary decorative design in interiors, Chesney’s and Jane Churchill have together produced some exquisite new fireplace designs.

The Jane Churchill range of fireplace designs for Chesney’s represents an exciting new direction in fireplace design marrying elements of traditional form with original and beautiful new concepts.

The Coral Fireplace design was inspired by a coral pattern from fabric weavers in Northern India.

Bianco Avorio Limestone with rough texture and beautiful fossils is used for this fireplace and provides the perfect medium to express the Coral Relief pattern in the design, as it embodies the naturally abraded surface of the coral itself.

The retail price of the Coral Fireplace is £1,169.

The Regence Marble Fireplace in Giallo Treviso Marble from Chesneys

Chesney’s, the well known supplier of classical and period fireplaces have been scouring the world looking for beautiful new types of stone for their range of fireplaces.

In the remote mountainous province of Hebei in China, they have found two unusually coloured and beautiful types of marble: St Augustine Marble which is black, and the yellow Giallo Treviso marble.

These exotic marbles have never been used in the production of European fireplaces before, so to have your fireplace carved in this material by Chesney’s is to own something truly exclusive.

Chesney’s can carve all of its existing designs in either of the two new marbles, and the price remains the same as for a standard marble fireplace.

The Regence fireplace carved in The Regence in Giallo Treviso Marble (pictured) costs - £2,056
