The Victorian Classic brings graceful lines and period detailing to a premium marble fireplace surround. Crafted from authentic Bianca Carrara—quarried in the mountains outside the city of Carrara—this stone is prized for its cool white to blue-grey ground and natural grey veining, making it an elegant choice for a refined fireplace surround.

Celebrated since Roman times, Carrara combines excellent strength and a fine grain that holds crisp edges and takes a superb finish. Contemporary selections typically show a soft grey cast or delicate grey/near-black streaks that read beautifully across the Victorian profile. Two common looks include the cleaner, light-veined Carrara C and the more characterful Carrara CD with deeper background tones and stronger veining.

Shown here in a honed finish for a smooth, low-sheen surface that softly diffuses light; we also produce Carrara marble fireplace surrounds in a polished option if you prefer higher contrast and reflectivity. Any natural inclusions or areas of brecciation are professionally stabilised—stopped, filled, and finished to blend seamlessly with your chosen surface.

Compact yet architectural, the 48" Victorian Classic pairs effortlessly with traditional inserts or a clean chamber, creating a timeless focal point in genuine Italian marble.
