Custom Overmantel In Italian Bianco Perlino, From Concept to Completion

Step 1 - Block Selection ( Italian Bianco Perlino Marble )

Blog media
Italian quarried Bianco Perlino was selected for this project.

Step 2 - Shop Drawings ( Fine's Gallery's experienced in-house design team supplies detailed shop drawings for review & approval prior to going into production )

This mantel & overmantel measured up at over 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide. The shop drawings were presented to the homeowner and their contractors for review & approval prior to going into production on the hand carved masterpiece!

Step 3 - The mantels are hand carved overseas in Museum Quality worksmanship.

Step 4 - Importing / US Inspections / Professional US packing / Forwarding

Shipping tons of hand carved marble is a work of art in itself which we have perfected during our 28 years of shipping internationally!

Step 5 - Installation! ( Fine's Gallery provides our clients with an install partner who can handle jobs large and small )

Blog media
Our Travelling install partner travelled from our home base in Bonita Springs, FL to the jobsite in Indiana, USA!
Know-how is critical and our experienced install partners are not short on experience for large projects such as this 20 feet tall x 10 feet wide overmantel!
This towering overmantel was so tall that the opening size of the mantel was basically man sized in height!
We supplied not 1 of these massive works of art, but two matching!
Scaffolding was used to hoist the several ton overmantel shelf into place
After months of planning and production the finished installation is surely a sight to see.
