This customer wanted a European look to their mantle. For the mantle shelf and breast plate we made a bowed front, the box is approximately 2” deeper in the center than it is on the sides. To this simple detail we add embossed plant-ons to balance the look with the more elaborate legs. The legs include a sculpted(curved) front with a flute detail. To make a capitol detail we added a hand-carved plant-on. We have a large selection of these carved and embossed plant-ons so you can customize your mantle to be unique with little trouble or expense. The legs are turned out slightly to align with the curve of the breast plate. How do you think it would look in your home?
