The Charantais fireplace in our French property is a little worse for wear as you might be able to see from the photograph. The stone corbel on the right hand side of the picture has crumbled away and requires replacement. I guess that it shouldn't be too difficult for a stone mason to put right and don't think getting the stone to match will be a problem. I think then the whole fireplace and mantel piece may want a light sand blasting but not quite sure about these things so we will have to seek advice from somewhere. The fire bricks definitely need replacing to the back of the hearth. We hope to fit a log burning stove into the hearth for the winter evenings. Hope to show you how we get on with this in a few months time.
