Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with sweeping curves and an acanthus leaf crest in relief at the center of the header, with smaller floral details running along the lintel. It is a slim design, only 8 inches deep, so it frames the firebox without taking the room. The stone is pale cream and soft ivory, fine-grained and smooth to the hand, with subtle natural pitting that gives the relief a settled, aged appearance.

It measures 71 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 58 1/2 inches high, with an opening 52 inches wide and 44 inches high, a generous opening for its overall size. This is new stone, selected from the European workshop that makes our new French mantels; the same design can be ordered to a custom opening. It ships in sections with a drawing for the mason, and the slim depth suits a chimney breast that does not project far.

A limestone fireplace surround of this kind suits a formal lounge, a gallery-style living room, or a bedroom in a transitional house with natural wood and iron. The limestone fireplace mantel is in Marina Del Rey; visit by appointment, or we will send more photographs and a delivered price.
