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
