Louis XVI Limestone Mantel with Carved Keystone

Classic Louis XVI restraint. A straight frieze, a moulded shelf, plain canted jambs and one small carved keystone at the centre to relieve the whole composition. The limestone is a pale honey, lightly veined, and it warms a cool grey room instantly. Shown between two tall antiqued mirrors in a formal drawing room, it demonstrates the argument for buying a modest antique mantel over an elaborate reproduction. Ancient Surfaces offers this reclaimed French limestone fireplace mantel for drawing rooms, formal living rooms and apartments where scale is measured.
