This photo is all CoorItalia had to work on

Shop drawings were prepared

The pieces were hand carved in Italy

The top most cap is ready for finishing

The Central piece during carving

The fireplace assembled in its new Californian home

Standing at 9 ' 5" tall the fireplace shows its glory

A similar story for the second, simpler fireplace in the same household. We started, again, with an owner supplied photo

Shop drawings and a 3D model was produced

The fianl product, unlike the first fireplace was not aged

A FIREPLACE REBORN

CASE STUDY

For this project in Shady Canyon the client was looking for something special; we located a couple of antique fireplaces in France that the clients loved. Unfortunately before they decided to buy them they were sold.

Having pictures of the two fireplaces we were able to replicate them in Italy using a local limestone. In the following photos you can see the whole process, from the photos of the original fireplace, to the shop drawings, to the 3D rendering, to the manufacturing process, and finally the end piece in its final resting place.
