Is it wood burning or gas? Does it have glass doors or will the surround be subjected to high heat when in use?

I’m not sure that’s paint. It may be metal sheathing with a patina added. The photo isn’t that sharp but it doesn’t appear to be gold leafing though.

Wow that's pretty!

It does not look like paint. Since I do not know all the materials that are used for a fp surround, I would ask an expert.

Not sure if the surround is painted or metal in the photo. Am pretty sure you could achieve at least a similar look with paint but I would be sure to use a high heat paint rated for use near an open flame. You could probably achieve this look by using a stenciling brush and applying several coats of colors that are very similar but different enough to give a mottled effect. I wouldn't cover the surround surface completely with each layer but in a "splotchy" matter and would build layers upon each other. That should give you a nice mottled, aged look. Good luck

Hi there! This photo isn't ours, but we have actually built mantles using this image some of our clients had provided as inspiration. If you are interested in doing this design in brass (we are able to patina it to get that antique look) please feel free to message me!
