Mantle Detail

The dilemma we faced was in how to create a beautiful fireplace surround and mantle without getting into construction code issues. We accomplished this by incorporating the existing molding surround into our design and expanding the face of the wall.  Our signature red damask ceiling design fulfilled our clients wish to have red somewhere in the room while holding to a palette of umber and gold in the richly plastered walls, rubbed moldings and hand painted frieze.
