Plain Limestone Mantel with Serpentine Legs

A restrained limestone fireplace mantel that relies on proportion rather than carving. A molded cornice shelf sits above a deep plain frieze finished with a rounded lower molding, and the jambs curve in a bold serpentine line down to square plinth blocks. The pale cream stone is open textured, with small natural voids and flecks across its face. Measured at 62 inches wide and 53.5 inches high, it suits a living room, bedroom, study or contemporary renovation where an antique stone mantel should stay understated.
