Allow us to introduce you to the Rialto, a remarkable limestone fireplace surround brought to life by the artisans at Chesneys. The Rialto is a testament to the fusion of simplicity and striking design, making it an exquisite addition to any living space.
This substantial mantelpiece is a true masterpiece, with a form that effortlessly balances minimalism and visual impact. The Rialto’s design is characterized by its clean lines and timeless elegance, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate both simplicity and sophistication.
A distinctive feature of the Rialto is its plain jamb panels, which serve as the foundation for its striking visual appeal. These panels are thoughtfully elaborated with reeded demilune panels adjacent to the fire chamber. This intricate carving detail adds depth and character to the surround, drawing the eye towards the heart of the fireplace.
What truly sets the Rialto apart is the mirrored design approach used in its exterior. The same reeded demilune panels that grace the interior are reflected in conforming vertical flutes on the exterior. This clever mirroring creates a sense of balance and harmony, elevating the Rialto’s overall aesthetics to a level of understated opulence.
Completing the Rialto’s Art Deco-inspired silhouette is a receding, stepped shelf. This design element not only adds a touch of architectural sophistication but also provides a practical surface for displaying decorative items or cherished mementos.

Positively love it for my art deco living room. Unfortunately, I live in the United States. California, to be exact. How can I ever receive one of these beautiful mantels?
