The wrought iron wine cellar doors and fireplaces were fabricated and hand hammered to create these one of a kind works of art. The wine cellar and fireplace doors were installed prior to the masonry work to hide the attachment points. To tie them together, the handles were made to match. The seven foot wine cellar doors were built to tight tolerances so it could be sealed for refrigeration. A six foot double sided fireplace faces the dining room and great room. Its branch detail is only on the great room side as to not distract from the custom hand crafted grape vines on the cellar doors. The fossil fireplace is located in the breakfast nook. To give it a relic texture, the doors were hand hammered along the edges. The branches and leaves were also hammered and shaped by hand. Overall, the simple fireplace complements the fossilized fish.
