HESTIA Late Georgian style marble fireplace mantel
This exquisite marble fireplace mantel is a classical example of
Adam’s design in the Late Georgian Period. In the spirit of
antiquity Adam, substituted standard decoration with beautiful
classical figures in the style used by the Romans themselves to
ornament their palaces and baths. In this marble fireplace mantel,
Hestia, the Roman Goddess of hearth and homes, stands as protector.
The figures are linked with rolled leaves, flowers and grapes running across
the central panel on the mantel

For our fireplace mantels we use only the finest
“statuary” grade marble, known for its purity, translucent nature
and consistency. The Marble has a creamy Ivory white color with very
little saturation, holds the most delicate and subtle of details and
is perfect for hand carving. As you would expect with any purely
natural minded products slight imperfections in the marble fireplace
mantels may exist. This gives each fireplace mantel its uniqueness
which is only enhanced during the hand carving process
