Marble is undoubtedly the most magnificent and marvellous of all metamorphic rocks. Its’ unique combination of sparkling iridescence and durability have made it a favourite of sculptors and architects for thousands of years.
Can you imagine if the Taj Mahal was made of wood or if the Venus De Milo was made of mud? Marble was chosen as the ideal material for these creations because of its ethereal and magical aesthetic qualities; there is definitely a type of magic in marble.
Whilst most of us may not be able to afford our own sculptures or palaces, we can have a taste of eternal luxury by purchasing marble fireplaces. Of course, fireplaces are available in a variety of materials such as metal, stone and wood, and in a variety of styles, but none of these options are as elegant or noble as marble fireplaces.
A fireplace is the traditional gathering place of the family and children, parents and grandparents have gathered round the hearth for centuries to bond, socialise and warm the body and soul simultaneously. When choosing a fireplace made of marble, it is usually most convenient to order from a reliable online site which has a secure payment system, a good reputation for customer care and a rapid delivery rate. Of course, you must consider the dimensions of your living room and the space which is available for your new fireplace as this can dictate which styles are available to you. However, many companies offer a selection of marble styles in several sizes or even a bespoke service.
Thereafter, choose a hearth which not only complements your marble surround but also blends with your decor, whether it is highly polished brass, silver or black granite. Remember, you are also investing in a unique piece of practical style- because no individual piece of granite looks the same- and this customisation always comes at no extra charge, but merely with the compliments of Mother Nature!
