Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel in a classical manner: strong column legs, clean defined lines, and a generous shelf, with no relief ornament to distract from the proportion. The stone is warm sand and pale parchment in color with faint natural veining, and the finish is a soft matte that feels smooth as paper under the hand. The edges are crisp and the blocks meet in tight seams.

It measures 79 inches wide, 14 1/2 inches deep and 59 1/2 inches high, with an opening 50 inches wide and 40 inches high. This is new stone, selected from the European workshop that makes all of our new French mantels, and the design can be ordered to a custom opening if this size does not fit. It ships in sections with a drawing for the mason, and the limestone takes a working wood or gas fire with the usual clearances.

A limestone fireplace surround this quiet suits a formal living room with dark oak floors and brass, a reception hall, or a dining room in a house that mixes periods. The limestone fireplace mantel is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and see the stone, or ask for photographs and a delivered price.
