The Cast Tec Victorian Corbel 53″ / 59″ Carrara Marble Fireplace Surround is a traditional period-style mantel crafted from Italian Carrara marble and defined by its decorative carved corbels and substantial proportions. Designed to create a strong architectural focal point, it is particularly well suited to Victorian-inspired interiors, period properties and classic fireplace schemes.
The carved corbels are one of the defining features of the design, visually supporting the mantel shelf while adding depth and traditional detailing to the surround. Combined with the natural character of Carrara marble, they give the fireplace a refined, substantial appearance without becoming overly ornate.
The surround is available in two standard sizes. The 53-inch version has a shelf length of 1350mm, making it suitable for smaller chimney breasts and designed to work comfortably with a standard hearth around 1300mm x 380mm. The larger 59-inch version has a shelf length of 1500mm and is suited to a standard hearth around 1450mm x 430mm.
Both sizes feature an internal opening of approximately 915mm wide x 915mm high, providing classic square proportions that work well with a variety of suitable fireplace inserts, chambers and fire arrangements.
A useful feature of the Victorian Corbel is that the mantel legs can be adjusted during fitting, allowing them to be moved slightly closer together or further apart to alter the final fireplace opening. This gives the installer some flexibility when working with existing openings or coordinating the surround with a particular insert.
The fireplace is manufactured from natural Carrara marble, so variations in colour, veining and markings should be expected. These natural differences are part of the character of the stone and mean each surround will have its own individual appearance.
With its traditional carved detailing, Italian marble construction and choice of two useful sizes, the Cast Tec Victorian Corbel Carrara Marble Fireplace Surround is a strong option for customers wanting a classic period fireplace with substantial architectural presence.
