Craftsmanship

We take great pride in ensuring the utmost quality of stone and craftsmanship in every piece. Due to the inherent nature of natural stone, variations in color or pattern may occur, adding to its unique charm.

Embrace the uniqueness of your piece; that's the beauty of natural stone. No two pieces are identical, making it exclusively yours.

Stone being a natural product may contain fissures, cracks, holes and pits. These are not faults and are inherit within the stone which stems from the time the block is extracted from the mountains in the quarry it comes from.

Materials & Finishes

When envisioning the remarkable marble sculptures and architectural marvels of the Italian Renaissance, the illustrious Carrara marble inevitably takes center stage. This legendary stone, forever etched into history, was favored by the Romans for the creation of the Pantheon and immortalized by Michelangelo through his masterful David statue.

The touch of Carrara marble elevates any space, infusing it with an ineffable beauty that transcends time. Characterized by its dominant white or white-gray hue, Carrara marble is a canvas of pure elegance, adorned with veins that meander from shades of blue-gray to deep charcoal gray.

Carrara marble's legacy traces back to ancient Rome, with the very first slabs hewn from Tuscany's quarries. Its role in art and architecture is undeniable, weaving a narrative that spans centuries of creative excellence.

A Victorian arched Carrara marble fireplace surround 1940mm wide and 1200mm tall with a rounded arch opening framed by shell-form corbels on either side and a carved keystone at the crown of the arch. The corbels are the defining detail: the shell form is a classical motif that appears throughout 19th century domestic architecture, and here it is hand-carved from the same Carrara marble as the surround itself.

The jambs feature recessed panel mouldings that reinforce the architectural character of the piece without adding the dense carving complexity of the larger Grand Victorian mantel. This is a considered, refined Victorian fireplace the right choice for Victorian and Edwardian homes, country houses, and formal living rooms where you want historical authenticity without the visual weight of a fully ornate piece.

The stone is Carrara marble, quarried in the Apuan Alps in Tuscany. Its bright white base and fine blue-grey veining made it the material of choice for 19th century English and Irish mantel makers the combination of its workability, brightness and clarity of veining allows carved detail like the shell corbels to read sharply against the stone surface.

At 1940mm wide with a Square Return profile it suits standard Victorian fireplace openings and installs cleanly against a chimney breast of that width.

We spent upwards of $10K on furniture last year and couldn’t be happier with the experience not to mention the products themselves. Costa was In constant communication with us which we appreciated even though they took longer than initially quoted. Everything is still holding up well and in great shape!! We are planning to order a few items soon so I am hoping the service is just as good this time around!

I have to admit, at first I was skeptical because the items seemed so reasonably priced, but I was quickly proven wrong after just a short conversation. We are thrilled with our custom-made Green Onyx coffee table from Elsa Home & Beauty, it truly feels like we made the perfect choice! Visiting the showroom really helped us appreciate the variety and quality of the stone options, thank you for bringing our dream piece to life!

Common Questions

What size fireplace opening does this surround fit?

The Victorian Arched Carrara Marble Fireplace Surround measures 1940mm wide x 1200mm tall x 360mm deep overall. The internal arch opening measures 1104mm wide x 923mm tall — this is the clear opening through which the firebox or insert will be visible. If your existing fireplace opening is close to but not exactly these dimensions, custom sizing is available on request. Contact us at hello@elsahomeandbeauty.com.au with your fireplace opening measurements and we will confirm compatibility or advise on a tailored size.

How should a Victorian marble fireplace surround be installed?

Installation should always be carried out by a qualified stonemason or experienced fireplace installer. Marble fireplace surrounds are heavy professional handling prevents damage to the stone during installation and ensures the piece is correctly secured to the chimney breast. We recommend arranging installation before your surround arrives so the installer can assess the chimney breast and confirm any preparation required.

How does this surround compare to the Grand Victorian Corinthian Capitals mantel?

The Victorian Arched Carrara Marble Fireplace Surround Shell Corbels is a more restrained piece refined Victorian carving with shell-form corbels and a carved keystone, suited to Victorian and Edwardian homes where historical authenticity matters but a fully ornate mantel would overpower the room. The Grand Victorian Carrara Marble Fireplace Mantel Corinthian Capitals is significantly more elaborate Corinthian-style capitals, repeating decorative banding and dense carved detail throughout — and is better suited to grand formal rooms and heritage properties where the fireplace is the primary architectural statement.
