The design of this fire surround perfectly encapsulates the aesthetic of the Edwardian era; succinctly characterised by Lynda Nead as "a combination of the breathtakingly new and the reassuringly old".  In stark contrast to the style of the Victorian age, it is austere, clean and uncluttered but its proportions are classical and it nods to antiquity with its, albeit streamlined and modernised, fluted corbels.
 
If you are looking to refurbish an Edwardian property or the style of this era just speaks to you, what better way to complement your furnishings than to finish your room with this superb hand-finished marble piece.
