The Salisbury Bolection 58″ Calacatta Viola Marble Fireplace Surround – Honed is a substantial natural marble mantel combining the clean architecture of a bolection profile with the dramatic colour and movement of Calacatta Viola marble.
The Salisbury Bolection is designed with generous proportions and a strong projecting frame, giving the fireplace a more substantial presence than smaller bolection surrounds. Its simple moulded form keeps the design disciplined and architectural, allowing the marble to provide the main decorative interest.
Calacatta Viola is a highly distinctive natural marble characterised by a white to cream background crossed by dramatic veins in tones of burgundy, plum and violet. The veining can be broad, sweeping and highly expressive, making every fireplace surround visually individual.
This version is finished in a honed surface, producing a smooth, matt appearance rather than the brighter reflectivity of polished marble. The honed finish softens the contrast slightly and gives the stone a more understated character while still preserving the depth and colour of the natural veining.
At 58 inches, the Salisbury has the scale to work especially well on larger chimney breasts and in rooms where the fireplace needs to hold its own as a principal architectural feature.
The surround incorporates a 25mm rebate, providing practical depth for coordinating the mantel with compatible slips, fireplace chambers, inserts or other fire arrangements.
As Calacatta Viola is natural stone, the balance of white, cream, burgundy, plum and violet will vary considerably between surrounds. Some examples may display larger blocks of colour, while others show finer or more distributed veining. This natural variation is one of the defining qualities of the material.
Where the exact appearance of the stone matters, photographs of the actual surrounds currently available should be requested before ordering.
The Salisbury Bolection Calacatta Viola Marble Fireplace Surround – Honed is particularly suited to interiors where a substantial fireplace is wanted with both architectural restraint and highly expressive natural marble.
