Chesney Fireplace – The Marseilles Fireplace
The Chesneys Marseilles is an elegant 18th-century Provincial French-style fireplace, inspired by the simple chimneypieces traditionally found in châteaux and manor houses throughout France. With its gently shaped console jambs, plain frieze and generous mantel shelf, the design deliberately avoids elaborate mouldings, relying instead on its strong proportions and beautifully understated character.

Materials & Finishes
The Marseilles is manufactured in Bianco Avorio limestone, a warm natural stone with a deliberately textured appearance that helps recreate the character of original French examples. It is available in a natural stone finish or a hand-patinated antique finish, the latter giving the fireplace a more aged, authentic appearance.
With its uncluttered French styling, generous proportions and warm natural stone, the Marseilles is an excellent choice for customers looking for a traditional fireplace with character that remains relaxed and understated rather than overly ornate.
