Rustic Limestone Mantel with Carved Rosette

A rugged reclaimed limestone fireplace mantel with heavily weathered, pitted stone in shifting tones of grey and cream. The molded shelf is thick and worn at every edge. A single small carved rosette panel is set into the frieze, off centre to the left, and the lintel curves down at each side into shaped corbels above square jambs. A herringbone brick firebox and a broad stone hearth complete a deeply textured composition. Suited to a family room, country house or period restoration where a reclaimed limestone mantel should look its full age.
