FIRE-PLACES

The central place in our display collection is devoted to the fire-place set. It consists of an electric fire-place, a mirror, a clock and a pair of candle-stands. As far as the art style is concerned, this fire-place set - an electric one - is a mixture of 2 styles - the Russian classic style of the middle of the 19th century and the modern style of the early 20th century. The thing is that the arrangement of the fire - place, mirror, clock, candle-stands and chimney piece are of classic style, but at the same time the articles and their components show modern style. The same modern style we can find in the colour layout as well. In the calm white marble background there are large patterns of rhodonite, which colour changes not only from one pattern to another, but also within the same pattern, we can see it in the mirror - frame or in the patterns of the fire-place. It should be noted that ornamental patterns have been developed after design of the Kaslinski cast iron pavilion.

The ornamental patterns of this pavilion were changed and as a result several new patterns had been worked out. The stone flower is one of them. You can see it in the central part of the mirror frame, on the fire - place grating and in the ornament of the fire - place, and the candle-stands. The fire - place set is made out of Coelga marble. The rhodonite is of different hues: pink, red, and purple - extracted from the Sedelnikovo quarry. Ornamental patterns are made of leadless bronze, which is very hard in smelting and working, but of nice red hue. After natural patination it got the hue typical of the old gold - gilded bronze.

Nowadays we do not deal any more with bronze - casting, but we do make electric fire - places and tile operating fire- places according to individual projects.
