French Limestone Mantel with Rosette Frieze

A modest French mantel with a lot of charm. The frieze carries a small carved rosette at each end and a looping ribbon motif at the centre, and below it the jambs curve out in a long unbroken scroll to the hearth. Pale bone coloured limestone, worn smooth wherever a hand would rest. Shown in a plain contemporary room dressed for the winter with candles and greenery, behind an iron fire screen. Available to buy, this antique limestone mantel suits bedrooms, snugs, studies and smaller sitting rooms.
