Solid Limestone hand carved fireplaces
You’re either artistic or you’re not. Some people can just draw; paint, carve or sculpt. Others have no natural affinity with such talents. Our masons all vary in the type of work they do, but all have the ability to visualise something beautiful in a solid block of stone. The massive blocks come to us on flat bed articulated lorries, and they are stacked 3 high in our yard. When we get your order for a stone fireplace, we go and choose a block from which we can cut sufficiently sized sections to make up the stone fireplace that you’ve chosen.
But we’re essentially artists in 3D (or at least our masons are) They can ’see’ the fireplace within the rough blocks, and work out how to make any attractive grain, run though the stone fireplace sections in a way that makes the best of the beauty of the stone. No two pieces ever look the same though, and that is all part of the challenge.
