37-S Modern geometric fireplace in Kansas limestone

 

61-T Provincial fireplace in Travertino Noce (Italian Walnut Travertine), an unusual rustic dark brown stone.
The stone has unusual formations and inclusions, with some details seeming like the inside of a grotto or cavern.

I create these unique mantelpieces in any style, from classical to Tudor, from Baroque to contemporary. Each fireplace is custom carved from natural stone or marble. These are not "cast stone" (which is precast concrete with stone dust mixed in) or "cultured marble" (a polymer, which is a plastic or fiberglass like material).

Prices are not listed because my work is not standardized or mass production. Every home is different and every block of stone is different. Every design can be modified and customized, and carved in different sizes or types of stone. In most cases I create new custom designs for each fireplace I carve. The photos on this site are fireplaces which I have created for my clients' homes. Write and let me know the style and size you need and I will be happy to accommodate you.

Large limestone fireplace with ornately carved Romanesque capitals, a classical entablature and an unusual arched opening. The medallions above the capitals and on the side returns were a custom design created for this client. I also carved two large medallions of the same design for the exterior of the home.
