Blind Arcade Limestone Mantel, Studio View

Shown against black to isolate the carving, this reclaimed limestone mantel carries a row of shallow blind arches across its frieze, meeting at a central carved rosette, with block legs finished in small foliate medallion capitals. The pale, evenly toned stone and crisp definition of the arcading make this one of the more formal, symmetrical profiles in the collection. Available to buy, this antique limestone mantel suits living rooms and dining rooms that want a classical arcaded rhythm across the fireplace face.
