It’s the first piece of furniture in any home. There's nothing as warm and welcoming as a crackling fire in an open fireplace. The dancing flames can lift your spirits and melt away the most stressful day in a matter of minutes. But to truly be part of the home, a fireplace must warm our hearts even when there is no fire in the grate. Pearl does not treat the mantel as trim or molding but as a beautiful piece of furniture that is the focal point of the entire room, the emotional core. It represents roots, heritage, and tradition. Furniture is arranged around it, precious treasures are displayed on it, and it provides balance and stability to the entire room. Pearl Mantels features fine furniture quality, stunning details, and classic designs that will enhance any décor. The Shenandoah has a charming frontier flavor that will create a rustic atmosphere for any room. Hand-hewn edges and distressing enhance the natural beauty of the wood grain. This pine mantel shelf can be hung with or without corbels, which are packed separately. Paint and stain grade. Mitered hanger board assembly included for easy installation.
