Salvage Stories | Transforming a Marble Boulder into a Bolection

 

Adam was once quoted saying “My self-appointed remit is to put things back into circulation, not just shrug my shoulders and condemn them.”

That philosophy came to life on a recent trip to a stone yard…

 

 

We stumbled upon two abandoned fragments of (what would once have been) an impressive marble fireplace bolection… that were essentially useless in their current state. Fortunately, fate intervened—we also found an enormous raw marble boulder of the same ilk.

 

 

Over the past few weeks, they’ve been in the hands of a skilled artisanal stonemason, restoring them to their former glory. The completed bolection is nothing short of majestic – and is now available in our shop.
