Elegantly Detailed Wood Mantel Shelf, 72, Unfinished

Revised Content:

A crackling fire in an open fireplace is truly a warm and welcoming sight. The dancing flames can instantly lift your spirits and melt away the most stressful day. However, a fireplace's appeal goes beyond just the fire itself. To truly be an integral part of the home, a fireplace must also have the power to warm our hearts even when the grate is empty.

The mantel is not merely a decorative trim or molding, but rather a piece of furniture that serves as the focal point and emotional core of the entire room. It represents the roots, heritage, and traditions of a home. Furniture is arranged around the mantel, and precious treasures are often displayed upon it, providing balance and stability to the entire space.

Pearl Mantels offers a collection of fine furniture-quality mantels that feature stunning details and classic designs to enhance any decor. Graceful corbels, rosettes, and reeded moldings add to the stately elegance of these mantel shelves, which boast an ample 10-inch depth to accommodate a variety of display items. The included mitered hanger board assembly ensures easy installation.

Measuring 72 inches in length on the top shelf and 60 1/2 inches on the bottom base, with a top shelf depth of 10 inches and a bottom base depth of 5 3/8 inches, these mantels stand a grand 16 3/4 inches tall, including the 7 3/4-inch corbels that are 4 inches wide each, spaced 52 inches apart. At a weight of 47 pounds, these mantels offer a substantial yet easy-to-install presence.

As a testament to the authenticity of a Pearl Mantel, each one features a distinctive pearl inlay on the right-hand side of the shelf. This inlay is masked, allowing you to easily paint or stain the mantel to suit your preferred aesthetic, simply by removing the mask when the work is done.

With easy assembly and installation, these versatile mantels can be mounted on the included hanger rail as a floating shelf or adorned with the provided corbels for a more traditional look. Crafted from premium Grade A wood, these hollow-backed mantels offer the visual appeal of a solid wood piece without the added weight or installation difficulties.

All necessary hardware for attaching the corbels is included, though the hardware for mounting the hanger rail is not. Be sure to select mounting hardware appropriate for your specific wall material, whether that's brick, drywall, or another surface.

As a reminder, wood is considered a combustible material, so it's crucial to adhere to the necessary heat clearances specified by your local building codes and the manufacturer's instructions for your fireplace insert or stove.

Established in 1995, Pearl Mantels is the innovator, not the imitator, in the world of high-quality, beautifully designed mantels. Look for the distinctive pearl inlay as proof of an authentic Pearl Mantel.
