Stone Age Designs introduces a new Fire Place Mantel Collection in Hand-Crafted Scagliola Stone™, cast in Copper and Pewter. These fireplace designs are reminiscent of fireplace mantels from the Italian Renaissance. These new creations have become a part of the Scagliola Stone™ Collection of Thierry François that includes custom stone fireplace mantels, and custom stone kitchen hoods that combine Old World elegance with the modern sophistication of today's custom home.
Stone Age Designs, created by Thierry François is now part of the parent company François & Co. The Company's new Metal Collection - featuring fireplace designs in copper and pewter - is stunning. Each new custom stone fireplace combines the elegance of a historically-inspired design with the modern sophistication of a metallic patina.
Traditionally, a custom stone fireplace mantle created in a fine metal finish was extremely rare, prohibitively expensive, and highly prized by connoisseurs. Reviving a rare, almost forgotten art, François & Co., parent company of Stone Age Designs has refined the original process and created a superb line of Scagliola Stone™ fireplace mantels, cast in copper or pewter and these one-of-a-kind metal patinas are achieved by actually adding fragments of metal into the Scagliola blend.
The new Scagliola Stone™ custom stone fireplace mantels provide an elegant alternative to fireplace designs like those in precast stone. The entire collection of stone fireplace mantles cast in Copper or Pewter have the same rich detail and pleasing proportions as all the Stone Age Designs and François & Co. stone products. Superb craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail is the trademark that brings people to our Showcase, and the reason more and more discriminating homeowners are selecting our designs over a cast stone mantel, and concrete products.
