How Much are Antique Fireplace Tiles?
Finding the Right fireplaces-mantels for You
While we likely wouldn’t mourn the invention of home heating and air-conditioning, these innovations did tragically reduce the widespread need for fireplaces and mantels in our living rooms.
Once an essential fixture in all homes, the fireplace, which, along with the chimney, is as old as the Middle Ages, was actually rendered redundant with the advent of the cast-iron heating stove during the 18th century. Victorian-era heating stoves were popular in the common areas of a living space for their capacity to heat as well as for their lack of smoke compared to fireplaces. However, improvements in craftsmanship as well as the Industrial Revolution meant that fireplaces were evolving in form and functionality.
Even as HVAC systems would eventually see to it that fireplaces weren’t a necessity, no mechanically engineered thermal heating and ventilation technology can replicate the feeling of warmth and camaraderie that a flickering fire guarantees. We just love a good fireplace.
“With antique fireplaces, you get heart, soul, character and architecture,” says Tony Ingrao, a Manhattan-based interior designer who purchased an important 16th-century French limestone fireplace for a client’s Greenwich Village townhouse.
Vintage fireplaces and mantels have earned their coveted position as desirable focal points in any room over the course of a staggering evolution in design that has yielded everything from intricately carved works of limestone to sleek works of wood paneling and rolled steel.
As log after log turns into ash, these iconic designs prove their timelessness and value, monetarily and as prized decorative monuments. Whether you seek to simply warm a space or completely transform it, an eye-catching new mantel for your blazing hearth — be it an elegant neoclassical design, a marvelous work of marble in the Louis XV style or an unconventional contemporary variation — is the perfect solution.
Find a collection of antique and vintage fireplaces and mantels on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The best type of tile to use on a fireplace is a glazed porcelain or ceramic because they are more durable than other types of tiles. It is important to buy specifically fire-safe tiles for the fireplaces to ensure the fire will be contained and not cause a fire-hazard in your home. Shop a selection of tiles on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The type of tile to use in the fireplace is a matter of choice. Usually, fire-resistant tiles are used if the heat source is not close to the wall surface, then most types of tiles would be safe. However, if the distance is less then porcelain is advised. Porcelain is similar to fire-resistant bricks in that it will absorbg the heat and not transfer it to the surrounding areas. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of tile options to choose from.
