    Sewing by the fireplace (By Marguerite Stuber Pearson)

    This is a lovely painting by Marguerite S Pearson of a seated lady sewing by a fireplace, very typical of the type of subject that she painted, many of Marguerite paintings feature large painted fireplaces in the American style. Marguerite was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania her painting was born out of adversity at the age of sixteen she contracted polio while on holiday in Maine, she was subsequently confined to a wheel chair for the rest of her life. Marguerite continued to paint through out her life, and died in Rockport MA in 1978. She has left a wealth of paintings of still life's and fine interior portraiture.

    "Her paintings are the work of a young woman of exceptional talent. The fact that she
    has had to battle against great odds to achieve the place she has achieved in the art
    world gives the pictures an added interest for many people familiar with that battle.
    But aside from that, the pictures, judged by the highest art standards, require no
    adventitious sentiment to bolster them up. For these are the works of a rare
    genius – of one who already ranks high and is destined to achieve unusual
    distinction in the art world."
    - Judith Curtis

  • New Post at Victorian Fireplaces

    New post at Victorian fireplaces

    Its such a relief now all the snow and ice has gone from the roads it did cause a few problems on our deliveries but we over came them.

    We have had a few changes in our office over the Christmas break and the start of the new year. Dean has joined us in the office, his back ground is as a Mantel maker in the Factory of Knapp woodworking our sister company which makes all our wooden Mantels. His roll will be to keep an eye on all our sales processing and customer relations. So If you have a problem just email Dean and he can sort it out straight away. Dean will also be trained into the Arts of our websites and help Dan in the creation and running of our fireplace websites, which you may not be aware are all created in house by Dan, and are the envy of the fireplace trade.

    Over the next few weeks I will post more interesting articles about fireplaces and some more unusual fireplace articles, so keep an eye out on this blog you will see it first here.

    The Fireplace Designer The Fireplace Designer

    The Fireplace Designer is about to go live, Yes the very first fireplace designer on the web, well actually not quite correct five years ago we actually had a very basic fireplace designer on our old web site, which did a very basic design service. Now our new fireplace designer which our Dan has created is a wonder to be hold in deed. You should be able to see it in action tomorrow. I must apologise for this little tease as I can't wait for it to go live we have been playing with it in the office and it's great, no need for our customers to cut out and paste all our tiled pictures into there cut out of there chosen fireplace inserts, its an amazing thought but there is over 30,000 different combinations of Victorian fireplaces in this designer, and this designer does all this for you. and then you can purchase your chosen fireplace when you have designed it. Brill !!

    Not long to wait now for, The Fireplace Designer.  Be patient, says Dan.

  • Best selling fireplace - W/E 28/06/09

    Chiswick Gloucester marble fireplace

    Chiswick Gloucester marble fireplace was the best selling fireplace last week, a beautiful fireplace and a true chimneypiece in carrara marble. At 56 inches wide it will fit most chimney breasts, as long as the chimney breast is built for a solid fuel fire (a proper chimney). The Chiswick mantel can be put with any of our cast iron inserts and looks very nice with a tiled insert. This fireplace is designed for solid fuel, gas or can have an electric fire in it.

    Now I have been asked what is a best selling fireplace, what constitutes a best selling fireplace well it is two or more of the same fireplace in any one week, now I here you say you can't always have multiple sales of the same fireplace every week especially this time of year, and your right some times we don't, so when this happens I pick a fireplace from that weeks sale's to show, I particularly like this fireplace it falls into this category I hope you like it to, one of our customers did. A beautiful fireplace, The Chiswick Gloucester.
