I suppose it's possible, but there was a reason the original makers did it the way they did. Just handling, shipping and installing such an extended piece of fragile stone would be a big nightmare. What would be the point?
This fireplace clearly having been constructed from several pieces of hand carved marble, can anybody confirm if such grand designs could be made from a single block of marble please ?

Good luck with that. Better make a few while you're at it, to allow for breakage in transit.

I imagine the failure rate working with a metal like aluminium, compared to natural rock comprised of minerals like marble, is a lot less and so it does make sense, but what techniques can be used to bring that probability to alignment ?
Perhaps slower passes ?
I also asked this question when I was renovating my house. I knew they can do it, but the upfront cost bites for a solid block of marble and to turn it into a fireplace. So, if you are ready to pay it's up to you!Gladly, marble is no longer just a luxury item. Nowadays, there are plenty of artificial alternatives that are just as durable and elegant as real marble. So, when I've been renovating my home, I must say the appeal of marble floors and a marble fireplace is tough to ignore. While exploring my options, I discovered an artificial marble manufacturer and decided to give it a try. Basically, they've played a crucial role in helping me realize my vision without hitting my budget hard and sacrificing the quality.
