Antique French stone fireplace mantels are elegant works of art that bring a warmth and ambiance to an interior decor.  History added to a space with a story behind each mantel - recall the stone mason with years honing his craft, finessing inert blocks of limestone or marble into a beautiful focal point that is all at once functional and authentic.

Reference:  Mantel Pavé 113 is a hand carved Louis XVI style 19th century French fireplace mantel.  Stone masons, importing blocks of bianca carrara marble from Italy, would fashion fireplace mantels from this ethereal Italian stone. This fireplace mantel is quiet and elegant.  The geometric end squares are distinct end points to the center rosette embraced by perfect rectangular forms.  Contrasting to the angular lines of the geometric forms and playing into the natural element of the rosette, are hand carved, detailed laurel leaves cascading down the legs fireplace mantel's legs.  The translucency of the white marble with grey transparent veining is a perfect marriage to an antique Italian Bianca Carrara and Nero marble cabochon marble stone floor.
