About Us

De Opkamer is a family-run business with nearly 30 years of experience in antique fireplaces, stone flooring and historic architectural elements. Over the years we’ve built a curated collection of antique chimneypieces sourced from manor houses, townhouses and farm estates across Europe. Each piece is carefully selected, transported and professionally restored in our in-house workshop. The company is led by Michel and Carol, supported by a dedicated team of eight specialists. Every month, we travel throughout Europe to discover new finds, while maintaining a strong network of demolition crews, collectors and trusted dealers. With our spacious warehouse, on-site restoration facilities and a combination of craftsmanship, logistics expertise and personal service, we supply private clients, interior designers and architects worldwide. Our focus is on quality, authenticity and long-term reliability.

Craftmanship

Craftsmanship in Fireplace Restoration

In our workshop we restore with great care antique fireplaces, historical mantels and antique marble chimney pieces. Each fireplace receives a tailor-made approach where cracks are repaired, missing parts reconstructed and original surfaces carefully conserved. We work with traditional techniques and natural materials such as marble, limestone, Burgundy stone and Belgian bluestone. Authenticity is always central: cleaning without over-bleaching, retouching without hiding, and restoring without losing the soul of the piece. From soot stains and fractures to missing ornaments, every detail is treated with precision in our atelier. With decades of experience and an eye for historical accuracy, we prepare your fireplace for installation, including bespoke solutions such as filler slabs or matching side elements. This way, the historical value is preserved while the fireplace regains its rightful place in your interior. Looking for a workshop that restores your antique fireplace or marble mantel with authenticity and skill? We are happy to provide you with a clear restoration plan and quotation.
