Tall Arched Pediment Limestone Mantel with a Veined Face

Rising well above head height, this reclaimed limestone mantel carries a stepped cornice and a tall arched pediment set into the chimney breast above the shelf, the stone showing a soft marbleized veining rather than a plain flat face. Carved scroll corbels support the shelf itself, and the piece is shown lit and dressed with candles in a pale, quietly formal room. Available to buy, this antique limestone mantel suits living rooms and libraries that want real architectural scale and a fireplace that reads as the room's anchor rather than a simple fitting.
