French Limestone Mantel with Centre Cartouche and Acanthus Corbels

A carved scroll cartouche sits at the centre of the shaped frieze and sets the rhythm for everything below it, acanthus capitals at the jamb heads, panelled uprights and moulded plinth blocks meeting the stone floor. Shown installed between arched glazed cabinets with a fire lit and a screen across the opening, it proves the point that a genuinely French antique limestone mantel will settle into a warm modern family room without any period costume around it. Ancient Surfaces offers this reclaimed limestone fireplace mantel for living rooms, family rooms and panelled studies.
