All twelve rare mantels were intricately hand carved by Italian master carvers and installed on site anywhere between circa(1782-1805). Each reclaimed mantel comes with its original salvaged hearth. Some mantels were also reclaimed with their old iron hooks, chains or hangers. Until this day, all twelve mantels remain very well preserved. They were hand-carved using rare Italian Limestone with slightly varying color undertones.

Front and center is the rustic Lintel face-piece with a hand-carved tri-floral pattern embellishing the whole fireplace. Normal patterns of aging and distressing within the limestone are apparent all throughout this old fireplace giving it much more life and character. The smooth color gradient which apparently developed through time gives this mantel a quite unique touch of charm. The dimensions on this exclusively elegant mantel are detailed in the image. It has no breaks or cracks and remains in great condition.

This lovely mantel is an architect or designer's dream come true. With its overall hand carved design, its naturally aged soft colors and its simple rustic texture, this fireplace is a perfect match to any modern or old luxury setting.
