Founder Thierry Francois has scoured the cities and countryside of France for over a decade to bring the finest antique mantels to America. He is driven by his passion for bringing a sense of heritage and culture to every interior, and strongly believes that century-old architectural stonework should never be confined to art museums when it is integral to the warmth of home. Seeking singular masterpieces for his clientele, Thierry has assembled an unrivaled collection of antique mantels at Francois & Co. Francois & Co.’s antique mantels maintain levels of extraordinary pedigree, stunning workmanship and historical value, with some more than 600 years old.
