Hand Carved Marble Fireplaces and Fire Surrounds
For centuries, marble has been regarded as one of the most prestigious materials in interior design, valued for its beauty, durability and timeless elegance. Originally embraced during the 18th century as a symbol of refinement and status, marble fireplaces remain a defining feature in many historic homes and stately properties, where original examples continue to be admired hundreds of years after their creation.
Today, a marble fire surround can bring the same sense of quality, character and sophistication to a wide range of interiors. Whether installed in a period property, a contemporary home or a carefully considered design scheme, marble creates a distinctive focal point that adds elegance without overpowering the surrounding décor.
At English Fireplaces, we offer an extensive collection of authentic period reproduction hand-carved marble fire surrounds, including designs inspired by the Georgian, Regency and Victorian eras. We also specialise in the intricate detailing and sculptural beauty of French Louis and Rococo marble fireplaces, where the craftsmanship and natural qualities of the stone are showcased to exceptional effect.
The versatility of marble makes it a popular choice among homeowners, architects and interior designers alike. Available in a variety of colours, finishes and styles, a marble fireplace can complement almost any interior palette, providing a timeless foundation for both classic and contemporary spaces.
Our collection of hand-carved marble fireplaces and fire surrounds can be viewed at both our London and Hampshire showrooms, where you can experience the quality of the stone and craftsmanship first-hand. Whether you are restoring a period interior or creating a new design statement, our experienced team will be delighted to help you find the perfect fireplace.
We also invite you to explore our extensive collection of limestone fire surrounds offering another beautiful expression of natural stone craftsmanship.

Thanks So Much For a Great Job
Paul and the team at English Fireplaces helped design and install two new fireplaces in our home and we are absolutely delighted with the results. It has been an absolute pleasure working with English Fireplaces throughout – they (and their installers) are helpful, professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would use them for any future fireplace needs!

I chose to purchase from you because you were the only company that I found that offered the “high end” style and quality that I wanted – far superior to other companies. I had a few questions and you made me feel that you could provide whatever I wanted (Love the personal approach that is so rare to find today). Ordering and delivery was a breeze. The fireplace has been installed and it looks amazing!
GP, Wales – October 2024
I found English Fireplaces on the internet and, as they were fairly local to us, we went down to see them. We had moved to a house with a very modern wood burner set in to the wall and we wanted to find a mantelpiece that would provide a surround and softening to the chimney breast. We looked round the showroom with Paul and he was very knowledgeable about the various designs and stone that we might consider. Tom came to our house and provided a design which was just what we needed. We now have a mantelpiece and slate surround which looks great and we are delighted. Working with English Fireplaces was a very satisfying experience.
CK, Hampshire – September 2024
What a thoroughly enjoyable process from start to finish. We found you on the internet and were thrilled you were local to us. The choice was excellent and when we described what we were looking for you were able to show us exactly what we had pictured. Very efficient communication and very quick delivery and professional installation by your recommended fitter. Thank you for everything

Technical Site Survey
To ensure every fireplace is specified and installed correctly, we offer a complimentary site survey as part of our service.
Your survey is carried out by an experienced, qualified installer who will assess the space, confirm dimensions, review installation requirements and ensure the project complies with all relevant regulations. The visit will also enable a clear installation quotation to be prepared and an opportunity to meet the specialist who would oversee the installation, giving confidence that every detail has been considered before work begins.

Every fireplace is unique to the room it occupies. Whether you’re restoring a period property, designing a contemporary interior or creating something entirely bespoke, our Design Your Fireplace tool helps you explore the possibilities with confidence.
Experiment with different fire surrounds, baskets, inserts and stoves, and adjust dimensions to reflect your room and fireplace opening. It’s an easy way to compare styles, proportions and combinations, helping you refine your ideas before speaking with our experienced team.
