Chester 56" Cararra Marble Fireplace Surround / Mantel

Chester 56" Marble Fire Surround

Add timeless elegance to your home with the Chester Marble Fire Surround, from our hand-picked collection of carefully selected fireplaces. Taking inspiration from authentic Victorian design, this beautifully crafted surround is ideal for period-style interiors, while also complementing more modern spaces that need a touch of character. Its refined detailing brings classic charm without appearing too fussy or ornate, making it a versatile choice for many different rooms.

Each section is crafted from high-quality Carrara marble, carefully selected for its beautiful appearance and distinctive natural veining. The soft off-white tone enhances its charm, creating an authentic Victorian aesthetic that suits both classic and contemporary interiors. Finished with a subtle polish, it offers a gentle sheen without appearing overly glossy. Designed with practicality in mind, these fireplaces come ready to install, require no sealing, and are highly durable with excellent resistance to dirt and everyday marks.

Each surround features a 75mm rebate, making it suitable for a wide range of installations, including use with cast iron inserts. If an insert is not being used, the opening can be boarded out, as shown in some of the gallery images. In these examples, a vermiculite board has been used, although alternative materials are also suitable.

Alternatively, we offer a pair of Carrara marble rebate strips, measuring 75mm x 910mm, designed to neatly fill the side gaps. These can be easily fixed in place by your installer using adhesive. This option is ideal if you prefer not to board out the fireplace opening.

The main picture and all gallery images are of the same fireplace. The appearance may vary slightly between photos due to differences in lighting at the time each image was taken.

Must Read

Marble fire surrounds are very heavy and can be fragile. While they are extremely well-packed to prevent damage during transit - and it is rare for issues to occur during delivery - they can be damaged if not handled carefully during installation.

We understand it may not always be possible to inspect the goods before signing, especially when items are securely and thoroughly packaged. However, we kindly ask that all items are fully unpacked and inspected within 24 hours of receipt.

If you notice any damage that is not consistent with the natural characteristics of the marble, please notify us via email within this 24-hour period. Any issues reported within this timeframe will be resolved promptly and at our expense.

Please note: Damage reported after this 24-hour window may not be covered, as damage can occur during handling or installation. Ensuring the surround is professionally installed will help prevent such issues.
