At Architrave Stone Carving, we specialize in hand carved stone fireplace mantels and surrounds, and can offer design services as well as working directly from existing plans. In addition to fireplace mantels, we carve stone architectural details, often for building restoration, but for new construction as well. We also carve stone fountains, benches and statuary. In addition to the aforementioned services and products, we can also provide installation to the upper-midwest. So called "cast stone" can not hold a candle to the real thing. Natural stone, millions of years old, carved by hand has a unique character that "cast stone" can only dream of.
