Limestone Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel with a deep floral frieze across the full width of the header: vines and rosettes in high relief, with acanthus leaves and a central flower. The shelf rests on a band of fine moulding, carried on scrolled corbels that curve down into the legs. The stone is a soft, sun-washed mix of chalk white, warm sand and pale gray, with a matte, velvety surface and eased edges; shadows settle into the deeper cuts of the frieze.

It measures 83 1/2 inches wide, 13 1/2 inches deep and 56 1/2 inches high, with an opening 47 inches wide and 41 inches high; it is one of the wider mantels we stock. This is new stone, selected from the European workshop that supplies all of our new French mantels, and the profile can be made to a custom opening. The mantel ships in sections with a drawing for the mason.

A limestone fireplace surround this wide suits a formal living room, a traditional library with lime plaster and wide-plank oak, or a long dining room. The limestone fireplace mantel can be seen by appointment in Marina Del Rey; ask us for photographs of the frieze and a delivered price.
