The story
What we did.
Kevin, a designer, was renovating this entire Philadelphia home, and he had no intention of losing its ornate carved mantel. He wanted to bring the fireplace back to life without touching the woodwork.
He chose our Royal Peacock slab, a dramatic veined porcelain, for the surround. We templated it, cut it and installed it in a single day, doing almost all of the cutting at our shop and only a little on site. Every angle and protrusion of the mantel got a tight, clean fit, so the stone looks like it was always there.
