Our new collection of chimneypieces is characterised by striking marbles, handsome profiles and subtlety of line. All five are Jamb original designs, inspired by antiques found in English country houses.
The Roxburghe for example is inspired by a chimneypiece by Edwin Lutyens in the Bird Room at Floors Castle. Lutyens himself drew his design from an eighteenth-century original, so our new iteration, carved from Breccia di Serravezza, is the latest in a proud tradition.
The Baird chimneypiece is a sophisticated development of the trope of the bolection mould, an architectural exhibition piece on a small scale, designed to showcase the skill of the carver and the designer. This is not a two man show however, the Portoro Nero, also excelling in this form, the fluid chains of gold running through the black beautifully.
The Mawley chimneypiece is characterised by the curved shoulders of the aperture which lead to a shallow, pointed arch. Carved from Breccia Stazzema, a marble exhibiting figuration of dark purple, tobacco and ivory.
