The magnificent Limoges chimneypiece is part of Chesney’s new En Trumeau Collection:

With an impressive overmantel, this stone fireplace is eminently majestic, yet retains an exquisite elegance thanks to its fine, hand-carved detail and its graceful central cavetto.

The French Cheminée en Trumeau could undoubtedly be the architectural centre-piece of any room and can be tailored to the necessary scale.

This style was widely used in both France and England during the 18th century and is the French equivalent of the English “continued” chimneypiece, where the decorative panel sits on top of the mantelpiece.

The Limoges, shown here in Bianco Avorio Limestone, is a beautiful example of an En Trumeau Chemińee from the reign of Louis XIII, incorporating a bolection moulding framing the fire chamber and an oval medallion flanked by ionic pilasters within the overmantel.
Dimensions to order. Priced from £5,800.

A Chesney’s fireplace always creates a grand focal point in any room and in the winter months this can be a feature, which looks great while also being a source of warmth and light.
However in the summer, how can you draw attention to the striking architectural presence of a Chesney’s fireplace in a different way?
Dressing the fireplace with seasonal blooms and foliage will show it in a fresh light:

•     Try using catkins and willows to drape on and around the fireplace to maintain its focus in the room.
•     Cascading foliage, flowers trailing to the floor from the mantel, a grate crammed full - and tumbling over delightfully with honeysuckle and jasmine, can be bright and romantic.
•    Change the static and characterless vase of dried flowers, often stuck in the hearth when the fireplace is not in use, to make your Chesney’s fireplace a    joyful and colourful centrepiece for the summer!

Featured here is the Marseilles fire surround from Chesney’s Stone Collection:

An 18th century provincial French design in bathstone, of warm colour and rugged texture, with console jambs, plain frieze and a generous mantel shelf. This design can be seen in chateaux and manor houses throughout France.

Retail prices Marseilles fire surround - £1992; Swansnest grate for dogs - £188; Bath Andirons - £646.

1. The key to decorating your fireplace is to complement it with your Christmas decorations, rather than allowing them to dominate it.

2. The mirror above should harmonise with the fireplace both in terms of size and style.

3. An architectural limestone fireplace, such as Chesney’s Stirling, is best suited to paler coloured elements such as white roses, silver baubles and crystal candlesticks, with the splendid floral arrangement positioned centrally on the mantel.

4. The Wessex Bolection in St Augustine marble surround from Chesney is a much darker material and will be much enhanced by using richer decorations.  Red and gold are the key colours, which can be realised using red roses and gold accessories.

5. It is important to consider the function and furnishings in the room to ensure that its formality or otherwise is matched in the decorations.

Retail Price of The Stirling Fireplace is £1,550 plus VAT
Retail Price of The Wessex Bolection is £1,750 plus VAT

Historically, 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.

Recognising 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.

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
