Small Georgian style fireplace

We had a customer ring yesterday with an enquiry for a small Georgian style fireplace, the customer only wanted a very small fireplace she liked the Combination cast iron fireplaces but preferred the fireplace to have a mantel.

The Roundel pine mantel can be made any size but looks best at 44 to 54 inches wide and at these sizes can be put with any arch insert that we have. The Reeded pine mantel can be made any size, and is another good choice for a small Georgian style fireplace.

All the these fireplaces can be used for solid fuel , gas or electric fires.

Adam style fireplaces

The Adam style (or Adamesque) is a style of neoclassical architecture and design as practised by Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728- 1792) and his brothers. A book of engraved designs made the “Adam” repertory available throughout Europe. A parallel development of this early phase of neoclassical design is French “Louis XVI style.

Robert Adam’s main rivals were James Wyatt, whose many designs for furniture were less known outside the wide circle of his patrons, because he never published a book of engravings, and Sir William Chambers, who designed fewer furnishings for his interiors, preferring to work with able cabinet-makers like John Linnell, Thomas Chippendale and Ince and Mayhew. So many able designers were working in this style in London from ca. 1770, that the style is currently more usually termed Early Neoclassical.
