Antique French Limestone Mantel (M-PNJK)

A magnificent 17th-century French limestone mantel, this antique and reclaimed piece exudes timeless elegance and historic charm. The centerpiece features a finely carved motif of musical instruments, gracefully framed by delicate floral carvings. Beneath this central design, an intricate woven-like pattern extends horizontally, adding texture and depth. On either side of the instrument motif, refined rectangular linework enhances the mantel’s symmetry. At the top of each leg, a beautifully sculpted floral basket motif adds a touch of artistry, while subtle debossed linework beneath the capitals further enriches the design. A testament to its age and provenance, this mantel bears the natural patina and character wear that only centuries of history can bestow
