The Wellington Fireplace

Design Heritage

The Wellington takes cues from Regency-era architecture, where proportion, symmetry and disciplined ornamentation were favoured over excessive flourish. The result is a tailored fireplace design with a modern clarity—ideal for period homes seeking an authentic, understated surround, and for contemporary schemes that want a nod to classical order.

The Details

Crisp mitred corners define the inner slips and the mantel frieze, creating a sharp, architectural ‘picture-frame’ effect around the opening. The profile is deliberately clean—no heavy carving or applied decoration—so the quality of the lines, the depth of the frame and the precision of the junctions become the feature. A generous, uncluttered shelf offers a confident platform for a mirror, artwork or curated objects.

Proportions & Presence

With its wide, grounded legs and strong horizontal mantel, the Wellington reads as a grand yet controlled statement piece. The substantial outer frame gives visual weight, while the simple geometry keeps it calm and composed—perfect for anchoring high ceilings, balancing tall windows, or bringing structure to open-plan living spaces.

Styling Suggestions

For a classic look, pair with an oversized gilded or ebonised mirror and symmetrical candlesticks for a drawing-room feel. In transitional interiors, mix it with soft wall colours, textured rugs and contemporary lighting to highlight the fireplace’s clean lines. For a modern scheme, keep the mantel styling minimal—one sculptural vessel or a single statement artwork—allowing the Wellington’s sharp mitres and confident proportions to do the talking.

Made to Order

Each Wellington Fireplace is bespoke and made-to-order, expertly crafted in a range of natural stones to suit your chosen palette and your room’s architecture. This flexibility makes it an effortless choice whether you’re restoring period character or introducing a refined focal point to a newer home.
