Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with a pointed Tudor arch over the opening, which gives the hearth a sharp vertical lift. The feature that sets it apart is a row of triangular peaks running directly beneath the tiered top shelf, a sawtooth line across the full width that reads almost modern against the Gothic arch. The legs are substantial, with deep vertical fluting, and they ground the rising lines of the arch in a heavy base. The stone is pale bone and soft sand, fine-grained with a slightly gritty surface.

It measures 69 inches wide, 14 1/2 inches deep and 62 1/2 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 47 1/2 inches wide by 45 1/2 inches high. This is new French limestone, selected from the one European workshop we use for mantels; call us for current availability, and ask if you need it made to a custom opening.

It suits a high-ceilinged gallery, a formal library or a long sitting room, and it is as comfortable with contemporary art, spare metalwork and limewashed walls as with velvet and dark wood. It is the most graphic stone fireplace mantel in our range. See this limestone fireplace mantel in Marina Del Rey, or ask us for photographs and a delivered price.
