A genuine French limestone fireplace from The Good House Pty Ltd: The “SAVIGNY”

The "SAVIGNY" is a typical French countryside fireplace, custom made in our workshop in the heart of Burgundy, a region renowned around the world for its wines as well as its varied high quality limestone. For the "SAVIGNY" we use Massangis limestone, a medium hard Burgundy stone with a fine grain and evenly displayed seashells.
Burgundy has a history of stone carving dating back to early Middle Age, with flamboyant castles, abbeys, monasteries and churches. Our stone carver is based near Cluny, a township famous for its abbey, once the largest church in the world after St Peter's of Rome. The heir of several generations of stone carvers, on top of this unique inheritance he also studied at the Fine Art School of Paris. This explains why the "SAVIGNY' comes in the exclusive "Cathedral" finish, exactly like these "vessels of the sky" used to be finished and rendered in Middle Age Europe.

As you would expect, the "SAVIGNY" is always made to order, allowing you to specify your measurements, the extend of the mantelpiece overhang, as well as a different finish (bushammered or honed) or a different stone (see our limestone section for alternative Burgundy stones).

Accordingly, a hearth stone, a firewood stowage or a hood can be added to "your SAVIGNY". Feel free to provide us with your requirements and we will send a price estimate. At The Good House, we specialize in custom made works, so feel free to submit your own fireplace design for a quote. Also browse our fireplace picture galleries for more ideas.
