The Burghley Fireplace
Regency-inspired grandeur with a bold bolection surround and commanding mantel shelf
The Burghley Fireplace is a confident classical centrepiece, defined by its deep moulded profiles and strong architectural lines. A generous mantel shelf crowns a sculpted frieze, while the substantial, stepped surround frames the opening with elegant authority—perfect for creating a refined focal point in both period homes and thoughtfully modern interiors. Expertly crafted to order and available in a range of natural stones, it brings timeless presence to the heart of the room.

Design Heritage
The Burghley draws on Regency and late-Georgian sensibilities—cleanly classical, yet unafraid of scale. Its design is rooted in architectural proportion: a strong entablature-like top, crisp rectilinear lines, and a moulded surround that gives the fireplace an assured, formal character without tipping into excess ornament.
The Details
A bold bolection-style surround adds depth and shadow, creating a sculptural frame that feels substantial from every angle. The frieze is refined and understated, allowing the moulded cornice and mantel shelf to take the lead, while neat mitred corners and stepped inner mouldings sharpen the geometry and lend a tailored finish.
Proportions & Presence
Designed as a statement piece, The Burghley balances breadth with height for a composed, architectural silhouette. The thick shelf line visually anchors the chimney breast, and the deep profiling around the opening naturally draws the eye to the fire—ideal for living rooms where you want an elegant focal point that still feels welcoming and liveable.
Styling Suggestions
Pair The Burghley with a stove or inset for a beautifully framed, gallery-like look, and keep accessories curated: a single artwork or mirror above, and a few sculptural objects across the shelf. It suits classic schemes with panelled walls and heritage tones, yet also works superbly in contemporary spaces—think textured plaster, simple furniture lines, and warm metals—where its crisp mouldings add structure and sophistication. Crafted by master artisans to order in your choice of premium stone.
