Providence
fireplace mantels are hand-carved from premium
selected hard maple. Fireplace mantels come unfinished, finely sanded, ready
to accept any stain to match you surrounding woodwork.
Maple is creamy-white hardwood with a reddish tinge,
sometimes with a dark brown heart. The texture is even, fine and lustrous.
It is usually straight grained but often curly or wavy, with fine brown
lines marking the growth rings on plain-sawn surfaces. Maple is favored for
its acceptance of stain. This allows you to match the final finish to your
existing room décor.
Design of the Providence fireplace mantel features stately half-columns with
the base-blocks on each side of the mantel. Columns have a complex design
with deep fluting and running coin trim. Upped blocks embellished with round
rosettes acting as an additional support for mantel shelve carved with
egg-and-dart design. Central frieze panel has beautiful leaf carving with
shell center.
