Official Chesneys Premium DealerThe Chesneys Scarpa Reduced 54″ Lilac Viola Marble Fireplace Surround combines a compact interpretation of the Scarpa’s Art Deco form with the expressive colouring of natural Lilac Viola marble.
The design is deliberately architectural. Broad pilasters, a substantial shelf and deep 165mm jambs provide strong physical form, while delicate horizontal detailing and careful stone selection introduce refinement without relying on ornate carving.
Lilac Viola brings an especially decorative quality to the Scarpa Reduced. The marble is distinguished by its pale ground combined with naturally occurring lilac, violet and deeper wine-toned movement, creating a fireplace that can become one of the principal visual features of a room.
The material is particularly effective where the stone can be selected and cut to create a book-matched effect across the two pilasters. This allows the natural veining to mirror across the fireplace, giving the otherwise minimal architecture greater symmetry and visual drama.
At 1371.5mm / 54″ wide x 1117.5mm / 44″ high, the Scarpa Reduced has a substantial presence without requiring the space of the full-sized Scarpa. The internal opening measures 965mm / 38″ wide x 914.5mm / 36″ high.
Both the shelf and jamb depth measure 165mm / 6½″, allowing the coloured veining to continue across several surfaces of the surround. This reinforces the fact that the fireplace is constructed from genuine natural stone rather than a printed or manufactured marble effect.
The combination of a relatively restrained Art Deco silhouette with expressive Lilac Viola marble makes the fireplace suitable for very different types of interior. In a period room it can provide an unexpected decorative focal point, while in a contemporary setting the marble can introduce colour and movement against otherwise minimal architecture.
Every piece of Lilac Viola is different, and the prominence of lilac, violet and darker veins will vary considerably between surrounds.
