Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with a header cut in deep relief: a continuous vine scroll with floral rosettes runs the full width, and the legs carry rope twists, bead mouldings and acanthus leaves from shelf to floor. It is one of the more heavily ornamented designs we stock. The stone is pale sand and warm beige with a strongly textured surface; deep natural pitting runs through the relief and gives it an aged look from the day it is set.

It measures 70 inches wide, 18 1/2 inches deep and 63 1/2 inches high, with an opening 44 inches wide and 47 1/2 inches high. The stone is new, from the European workshop that supplies our new French mantels, and the design can be ordered to a custom opening. The wide shelf takes artwork and heirlooms without crowding; the mantel ships in sections with a setting drawing.

It suits a Mediterranean house, a formal lounge, or a library with wrought iron, dark stained wood and velvet. The limestone fireplace mantel is on display by appointment in Marina Del Rey; write to us for more photographs and a quote delivered to your project.
