Mantel: 50" Bolection in Nero Marquina, Honed Finish 30mm rebate
Our Nero Marquina marble is quarried in China and is characterised by its deep black background colour, crisscrossed with strong white veins and random patterns. For this reason we photograph each fireplace prior to packing and can supply these images via our stockists upon request. We only supply our fireplaces in a polished (smooth and shiny) finish. It is a brecciated material and hence will be stopped and filled with suitable resins and glues during production. This is standard procedure and the material should not be regarded as faulty or sub-standard.

Although we refer to this as 'granite', it is actually a type of fine to medium grained gabbro. Black in colour with gold flecks, it can be highly polished to a consistent colour and deep lustre, giving it high resistance to scratching and staining. We can also supply it in a honed finish that should be treated after installation to prevent accidental marking.
Bolection Bianca Carrara – Polished

Carrara is a type of white or blue-grey marble popular for use in sculpture and building decor. It has been quarried since Roman times in the mountains just outside the city of Carrara in Italy. The pure white ‘statuario’ grade (sometimes referred to as statuary) was used for monumental sculpture, but had run out by the late 20th century.
The current material production is of stone with a greyish tint, or streaks of black or grey on white which makes it an attractive choice for fireplace production. It has a high tensile strength, can take a high gloss polish and holds very fine detail. It is classified by two variations, one is Carrara C with pure white background colour and light grey veins or dots. This is the most refined and precious quality of Bianca Carrara. The other type is Carrara CD, it has darker background with dark grey or black veining or dots.
Our Carrara fireplaces are available in both polished (smooth and shiny) and honed (smooth and matt) finishes. Any inclusions or brecciation will be stopped, filled and polished to match the finish of the marble.
