Vintage stone fireplace mantels

Depending on the look you hope to achieve for your home, there are many different types and styles of vintage stone fireplace mantels to choose from. Early fire surrounds in stone tend to have a simple shape, with two vertical pillars and a flat horizontal piece of stone resting on the top. French style fireplaces are a little more ornate, featuring pretty carvings, as are British pieces such as the Queen Anne, Victorian and Georgian styles. These look excellent topped with a mantel clock in polished wood or brass. Sandstone has a glorious yellow or red tinge. Or perhaps you appreciate a lighter-coloured stone fireplace? Opt for a smooth, pale limestone such as Bath or Portland stone. And place a vintage candle holder on each side for a symmetrical finish. Is a dark stone fireplace more your thing? Derbyshire limestone is usually a darker grey with interesting patterns formed by fossils. This means that no two pieces could ever be the same. Slate fireplaces have a striking dark grey hue. As well as being wipe clean, this type of stone is a fantastic insulator, keeping all the heat in the room to save energy costs.
