Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A wide new limestone fireplace mantel with a row of circular rosettes across the full length of the frieze, each set in its own square panel so the pattern repeats along the lintel. Above them a rope moulding carries the underside of a multi-tiered shelf. The pillars taper and are crowned by large Ionic volutes in high relief, with floral and vine work running down each face to stepped rectangular bases. The stone is a fine-grained pale cream, tooled to a worn finish that sharpens the ornament by filling it with shadow.

It measures 78 1/2 inches wide, 13 1/2 inches deep and 64 1/2 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 50 inches wide by 49 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 if the profile needs to be made to a different opening, which adds lead time.

It asks for a grand living room or a high-ceilinged gallery where the detailed stone fireplace mantel is the main event on the wall, over a limestone floor laid in a Versailles pattern. See this limestone fireplace mantel in Marina Del Rey, or send us your opening and we will quote it delivered.
