Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A wide new limestone fireplace mantel with a heraldic shield in relief at the center of a flat, broad header. The firebox opening is a plain rectangle, which keeps the horizontal line clear, and the top is finished with a deep, multi-tiered shelf running the full width. The pilasters taper and curve slightly inward before landing on heavy squared base blocks. The stone is a pale cream French limestone with a fine mineral grain and a slightly pitted face, and the tooled finish keeps the edges of the mouldings and the shield sharp.

It measures 73 inches wide, 17 inches deep and 70 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 49 inches wide by 47 1/2 inches high. This is new stone, selected from the one European workshop we use for mantels; call us for current availability, and ask about a custom opening if yours differs.

It suits a grand library, a formal living room or an entry hall with a tall ceiling, where a stone fireplace mantel of this height holds the wall and the deep shelf carries a large canvas, a pair of bronzes or a long seasonal arrangement.
