Daino Reale Limestone Fireplace Mantel, Daino Reale Beige Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A fireplace is one of the most conservative interior design elements. A set of typical fireplace accessories – vases, clocks, candlesticks – has formed centuries ago. Combinations that seem so common have their own history. For example, a natural stone or metal deck that surrounds the fireplace was introduced to protect the parquet of baroque-style castles from hot pieces of coal that eventually “jumped” out of fire-chamber (furnace). A seemingly primordial duo of fireplace and mirror first appeared in the Fontainebleau Palace in 1601. Only a century later during the rococo period has it become popular.

No matter how the shapes of fireplace change over time, its main elements stay the same. A fire grate eases the access of air to firewood, just like centuries ago. Furnace turns the logs into heat and light. A chimney serves as an exit for smoke and stagnant air. By adding comfort and stability, marble fireplace turns your house into a peaceful heaven.
