Reclaimed Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A reclaimed stone fireplace mantel in limestone with thick, heavy legs that throw deep shadows and pull the eye straight to the hearth. The stone has an unusually varied color: dusty rose, muted terracotta and weathered ash gray. Deep horizontal bands and coarse pitting run across the wide lintel from long exposure to weather. The side supports curve inward in long sweeps and still hold the faint, uneven marks of the tools that shaped them. The outer corners have been knocked about over the years and are blunt and slightly uneven.

It measures 66 1/2 inches wide and 61 inches high; the opening is 45 1/4 inches wide and 48 inches high. We do not have the depth on file for this one.

The pink and gray stone sits boldly against polished concrete floors and the matte texture of sisal, and a rusted iron firebox surround brings out its warm, earthy tones. It suits a large living room, a conservatory, a home library or a mountain house. The antique limestone fireplace shown here has sold. We often have other reclaimed stone fireplace mantels with this kind of weight in the yard or on the water; ask and we will send what is current.
