Best selling fireplace – W/E 08/03/09
Toulouse fireplace
Toulouse fireplace (shown with Carved Corbel solid oak mantel) was our best selling fireplace for last week it just piped the Lansdowne fireplace by a whisker. we sold the Toulouse to our customers with a variety of mantels. The Toulouse is available with any of our mantels, and you can have mantels from 48 inch or larger. All fire options are available, I think it looks particularly well with mantels with a 54 inch tops like the Bedford mantel, and solid Oak is a good option. Our best selling mantel was the Reeded pine mantel.

Fireplace Surrounds… What’s, what?
Fires and Fireplaces have always played an integral part in every home, but over the years fires and fireplaces have evolved from simple fires in the middle of a home where the smoke would have been vented out through the roof lantern to what we have today which normally serves as an element to enhance the grandeur of an interior space.
It wasn’t until the twelfth century when the placement of fireplaces moved from the middle of the room to the wall which allowed for the design of very elaborate, rich, architectural focal points for a room.
Fireplace surrounds also known as mantels, mantelpieces or chimneypieces, originated in medieval times but were then simply a hood that protruded over the grate to catch smoke. The fireplace surrounds used today are part of an overall finish and provide more of a decorative feature.
Fireplace surrounds are made of the following elements:
- Shelf
- Frieze
- Legs or Jambs
- Foot
- Corbels
- Corbels are not always found on fireplace surrounds.
