The Chichester, a remarkable creation by Chesneys crafted from the exquisite Bathstone, pays homage to the architectural elegance of the mid-18th century. This chimneypiece stands as a testament to both the craftsmanship of that era and the enduring beauty of classical design.
At the heart of The Chichester’s design are its moulded dog-leg jambs. These gracefully curved columns not only add a sense of structural integrity but also evoke a sense of refinement and balance. They are a nod to the architectural sensibilities of the 18th century, showcasing a design element that has stood the test of time.
The repeat frieze, carved with stiff leaf acanthus motifs, is another defining feature of The Chichester. This intricate carving adds a touch of nature-inspired beauty to the chimneypiece. The acanthus leaves, known for their distinctive and timeless appeal, serve as a symbol of growth and vitality, making them a cherished element in classical design.
The corniced shelf of The Chichester is adorned with a tier of crisp egg and dart carving, an exquisite detail that adds depth and texture to the design. The egg and dart pattern is a classic motif that represents life and renewal, making it a meaningful addition to the chimneypiece’s overall aesthetic.
For those who appreciate bespoke finishes, The Chichester offers an optional antique finish, albeit at an additional cost. This bespoke finish allows homeowners to tailor the chimneypiece to their specific preferences, adding a touch of individuality to this already exceptional piece. The inclusion of a slate hearth and slips, along with the Osterley steel fire basket, further enhances the visual appeal and functionality of The Chichester.
