Provincial Limestone Mantel with Scrolled Jambs

A gentle French provincial limestone mantel with a softly shaped frieze and jambs that scroll outward toward the hearth. The pale sand toned stone has worn smooth at every edge. Photographed in a bright beamed room, it holds the wall without ever demanding attention, which is a harder thing for a mantel to do than it sounds. Ancient Surfaces reclaimed and conserved this antique limestone fireplace mantel for family living rooms and sitting rooms.
