Wilsons Yard Slate Fireplaces
Marbleized Slate fireplaces came into their own in the 19th century and continue to be popular now.
Historically old slate fireplaces were an attractive alternative to higher cost marble fireplaces and have generally been made in the same designs as marble fireplaces.
Restoration
At Wilsons Yard we offer both marbleized and raw slate fireplaces for our customers.
Our restorers hand finish each marbleized slate fireplace, creating beautiful patterns and tones resembling marble. We normally have restored slate fireplaces in stock that we can finish to your specific colour schemes / tones.
At Wilsons Yard we recognise that whilst marbleized slate fireplaces are undoubtedly beautiful, styles and taste do change. So, as an alternative to marbleizing, our restorers often simply strip back the fireplace to bare natural slate, allowing the simple raw beauty of the stone to be appreciated, combined with the classical style of the fireplace to shine though. This is a very natural look, a dark bold grey slate fireplace with crisp lines makes for a dramatic and sophisticated feature chimney piece.
