Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with a heraldic shield at the center of the header, flanked by two ribbon-like scrolls that run across the lintel. The legs are the main event: substantial S-curved corbels that begin with a large spiral volute in high relief at the top and end in a lion's paw foot at the floor. A deep, multi-tiered shelf runs across the top. The stone is soft oatmeal and pale sand, fine-grained, with tooled edges that keep the relief sharp.

It measures 72 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 65 1/2 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 45 1/2 inches wide by 46 inches high. This is new stone, selected from the one European workshop we use for mantels; call us for current availability, and ask if the profile needs to be made to a different opening, which adds lead time.

It belongs in a formal library, a tall estate room or a primary suite that wants a traditional, heavily worked stone fireplace mantel as the room's anchor, with dark oak paneling, leather and hand-scraped floors around it. This limestone fireplace mantel is one to see in person in Marina Del Rey; otherwise ask us for photographs and a quote delivered to your site.
