Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A heavily worked new limestone fireplace mantel. The header carries a continuous run of scrolling vines and floral medallions in relief, closed by corner blocks that hold further rosettes, and the frame is held by substantial S-curved corbel legs, each crowned by a large spiral volute and cut with deep vertical fluting down the body. A tiered shelf runs across the top. The stone is pale sand and warm beige, fine-grained, with subtle mottling.

It measures 67 1/2 inches wide, 17 1/2 inches deep and 58 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 41 1/2 inches wide by 43 1/2 inches high. This is new French limestone, 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 large living room, a formal dining room or an estate library, with dark-stained floors, traditional millwork or smooth lime plaster around it, where a limestone fireplace surround with this much ornament can be the one decorated thing on the wall.
