Custom stone fireplace mantels invoke a contemporary Renaissance look to the home with the elegance of Italian Custom Stone. While some designers are mining Paris for antiques, Francois is turning to the elegance of contemporary Scagliola Stone fireplace mantels, custom stone fireplace mantels, and cast stone fireplace mantels to create the contemporary designs of today that have the look of the Renaissance, and Francois is using the same Scagliola created by 15th Century Italian Monks.
Thierry Francois is also developing Scagliola custom stone kitchen hoods as well as cast stone accents for exteriors, interiors, as well as arches, columns, pedestals, staircases, and even Scagliola waterfalls for the home that all bring home the warmth of the Italian Renaissance.

There is an explosion of interest in Scagliola, and Stone Age Designs is most often asked, "What is Scagliola?" Scagliola, http://www.stoneagedesigns.net/scagliola.html dates back to the 15th Century when it was first created by Italian Monks near the Italian city of Capri. Creating Scagliola Stone is a technique of blending and inlaying marble powders and pigments producing a marble-like surface that resembles a painting while the designs can range from classic to modern.
Thierry Francois has developed his own “secret recipe” for Scagliola, and that “secret Scagliola recipe” is coveted by the industry. The Scagliola Stone of Stone Age Designs separates our Scagliola from all the other manufacturers, and, “I know my recipe,” says Francois, “I spent years in researching how to combine the gypsum, granite, limestone, and travertine into our own, unique blend.”
“Our technique allows us the flexibility to hand-carve our Scagliola for very special projects, and our exclusive technique provides a sense of old-world elegance because it layered which gives it the look of authentic custom stone.”
“We have so much artistic freedom today,” says Francois because “we can create what we see in the mind’s eye with the molds we create or from the designs of the past. We can also work from CAD drawings to create one-of-kind pieces in our own precious Scagliola Stone.”
The creation of Scagliola Stone Fireplace mantels, stove hoods ad accents is a precise system of blending and layering that is a highly guarded secret process. This combination is beautiful because it can be also be polished to produce custom stone fireplace mantels as well as custom stone kitchen hoods, and cast stone kitchen hoods that are not nearly as costly as hand-carved stone.
The Scagliola of Stone Age Designs is easy to use, and easy to install in the home, or in the office, and the design possibilities are limited only to the imagination. Stone Age Designs’ Scagliola has the look and feel of hand-carved quarry stones and the elegance of the Italian Renaissance.
