This authentic 19th century French fireplace surround is crafted from rare Bois Jourdan Marble, the same distinguished marble once chosen for the Buffet de la Gare de Saint-Lazare in Paris and the New York Theatre. Today, it returns as a statement piece for refined interiors.
The marble shows a sophisticated palette of deep smokey greys layered with warm brown and russet tones and animated by fine white and subtle brick-red veining. Polished to a soft, elegant sheen, the surface gently catches the light: in daylight it feels graphic and architectural, while in evening or firelight it becomes warmer and more atmospheric, adding a luxurious glow and unique ambiance to the room.
Architecturally, the surround is defined by strong, linear proportions with fluted pilasters and delicate vertical detailing that frame the opening with quiet grandeur. The restrained classicism of the design makes it effortless to integrate in both historic and contemporary schemes.
Pair it with:
- modern wood flooring in oak, smoked oak or walnut for a rich, gallery-like mood
- contemporary art, sculptural lighting and minimalist furniture for a curated, design-led space
- cosy, timeless French-inspired interiors where texture, patina and history play a central role
This original Marbre Bois Jourdan mantel offers not only beauty but provenance and rarity. Its naturally varied veining ensures that no two surrounds are ever the same, making it an ideal focal point for a one-of-a-kind interior – from a Parisian-style apartment to a modern townhouse or boutique hotel lobby.
Condition & Restoration :
The fireplace surround is in beautiful antique condition, with wear consistent with age and use that underlines its authenticity. It has been professionally restored and structurally checked, and is ready for installation, allowing you to integrate it directly into your project with confidence.
