The Europa fireplace is the largest in the Dee-Daw Designs range and is an ideal a statement piece for any grand reception room. The fireplace style, although a bit of a fantasy, is inspired by the Baroque period – which emerged in Italy in the late-16th century. In Britain, the baroque style was adopted by sir Christopher Wren with St Paul’s Cathedral being his most noteable baroque building in the 18th century.
The fireplace is off white with primrose and gilt detailing above a hand painted faux marble hearth. It features a weathered brick effect chimney fronted by a lit coal effect fire basket and fender. On the mantlepiece are two urns with a large baroque clock in the centre. The picture in the overmantle frame is of two of the muses and was painted by french artist Vouet in 1634. The cotton canvas fabric of the picture is varnished to give a more realistic oil painting texture. The working electric fire, clock, urns, overmantle frame and fender are exclusive and made by me for this fireplace. All the decorative elements of the fireplace and its structure are hand painted and gilded.
