Camellias Fireplace

We present an elegant floral tiled fireplace with camellia ceramic murals and delicate embossed tiles in a cream-colored glaze.

Despite its size, this small floral tiled fireplace is very challenging to build, as it has a complex architecture and combines cascading heights and multiple levels of depth. Therefore, all the numerous protrusions and height differences had to be circumvented with ceramics, which resulted not only in a large volume of different parts, but also in a complicated installation.

The initial fireplace was modified by removing unnecessary brick “excesses”, cutting down the brick elements of the socle, producing missing elements during installation, and, of course, adjusting the basic tiles of the “Byzantine” collection to the actual size of the fireplace body.

As a result the floral tiled fireplace is very pretty. It harmoniously combines delicacy and purity, elegance and sensuality of decoration. The delicate lacework of the cornice is rhythmically supported by laconic smooth surfaces, occasionally interrupted by chains of beads on the borders, and the miniature floral painting in a pastel palette adds a modest charm.

We named our floral tiled fireplace “Camellias” because of the images of these flowers on the murals, but in addition, the stove is full of French spirit and creates a mood of elegant boudoir luxury, reminiscent of Marguerite Gautier – Lady with Camellias from the world famous novel by Dumas.
