Hand Carved Limestone Fireplace Mantel from France- "La Charentaise"

Total Height=125, Mantel Width=66 7/8, Max Depth=21 1/4

Firebox: H=44 5/8, W=52 5/8

This elegant French hand carved limestone fireplace mantel is from the center of France, named after the Charentes Region.  There are varying, stepped moldings on the cornice, giving an interesting side view.  The overmantel’s central arched (en chapeau) panel in the is flanked by indented shaped side panels, mimicking a frame.  The mantel’s side view has a gentle curve at its uppermost area ending on rectangular plinths.  The moldings on the front, again are varied in relief with indented sides reminiscent of the Regence style.

Bear in mind, the height can be shorted, if need be, by removing a layer of stone at the center top section.
