Understated Limestone Mantel Beneath a Gilt Mirror

A quieter companion to the grand salon pieces in the collection, this reclaimed limestone mantel keeps its profile plain and architectural, a simple moulded shelf and surround left to speak through proportion rather than carving. It is shown centred beneath a tall gilt framed mirror, flanked by a pair of tufted cream slipper chairs and a wrought iron fire screen worked with a scrolling heart motif, on a warm wood floor lit from windows on both sides. Available to buy, this antique limestone mantel suits living rooms and bedrooms that want quiet architectural presence over heavy ornament.
