Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with a broad flat frieze and heavy bracket-shaped legs. Beneath the square shelf each leg begins as a solid upper block, then drops into a deep inward scroll that ends in a stepped, rolled curl before landing on stacked square blocks. The outward faces of the legs carry a raised rosette framed by layered, feathered bands. The stone is cream, light sand and soft gray, with fine speckling and small pores across the face.

It measures 75 1/2 inches wide, 21 inches deep and 63 1/2 inches high overall, with a firebox opening 54 1/2 inches wide by 47 inches high. This is new stone, selected from a European workshop and finished with small pits and rubbed edges so the surface reads as settled.

It was made for a formal living room, a library, a dining room or an entry hall where a detailed limestone fireplace surround gives the wall a clear border; dark iron and antique brick behind it keep the rosettes and scrolls in focus.
