Sold

Removed from a chateau in northern France, this exquisite fireplace mantel is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and historic charm. Hand-chiseled or carved from "ancient stone," believed to date back to the 17th century or even earlier, it features a striking fluted and ribbed design along each leg and the header.

This mantel bears the traces of its rich history, with areas of old, cream-colored crackled paint and remnants of old black paint or soot around the legs and shelf top. The overall appearance showcases signs of hand-chiseled areas, reflecting its age and remarkable craftsmanship from many years ago.

With its beautiful, authentic look and captivating character, this fireplace mantel exudes a sense of history and sophistication, making it a truly remarkable addition to any home.

  • There is a small corner of the mantel ledge that has broken off, but is an easy repair and can be reattached. 

  • An approximately 4” diameter hole is in the left leg

  • Some damage (or purposeful carvings) can be found on both outer legs, most likely from the original installation method.
