This fireplace is the result of a collaboration between the architect John B. Murray and me.
The architectural framework of the mantel had been established by the time I was brought in.
I helped advance the design process by providing numerous sketches for low relief decorative motifs for the rectangular panel at the top and the triangular spandrels above the arch.
The architect and client were able to select from among these sketches and provide input for revisions until a final design was approved.
I went on to actually fabricate the mantel as well as the roundel higher up on the façade.
