• Fireplaces in Chatsworth House

    Posted on April 15th, 2010 David Knapp No comments

    I came across these pictures of fireplaces from Chatsworth House the other day while I was clearing out some folders on my computer, what a job spring cleaning on your desk top, well its the right time of year for it.

    Now can you see a slight resemblance with the top picture, our mantel that we call the Albert mantel in wood, at sixty inches wide its a smaller version I know but it looks similar!!  don’t forget we can make wooden mantels in any shape and size, if you come up with a design we will copy it for you.

    Some of the most beautiful fireplaces you will see any where just a little snippet of the amazing things to see at Chatsworth and the gardens are stunning too.

    Château Lespinassat

    Château Lespinassat

    I just thought I would share this with you. While on holiday in France this month we briefly stayed in this Château for the night and what a night a lovely place to stay, Marion Schildhorn the current owner was telling me that the Château is no longer available for renting out because it has been sold, the new owner is going to return the Château back to be a private house.

    Château Lespinassat current owner Marion Schildhorn kindly let me take some pictures of her lovely fireplaces, it gives you an idea of what some 18th century french fireplaces look like.

    If you are visiting Bergerac a great place to eat is the restaurant L’OPINIATRE, we had two wonderful meals here.

    RESTAURANT L’OPINIATRE. Route d’Agen 24100 Bergerac.
