C. 1850's, San Francisco, CA. Overall Measurements: 49"W x 43.5"H With extensive carving usually reserved for large scale mantels, the Amos mantel proves that grand design can come in small packages. The pristine, white crystalline base shimmers in light with peppered dark gray particles in the stone. This mantel is intriguing in the way it unites elements from different time periods. The spandrels call to mind Grecian robes or columns from the Roman empire, while the keystone is distinctly Victorian, and the cast-iron cover reminiscent of Medieval times and knights’ shields, or 12th century family crests. These complex elements are balanced by simple rounded plinths and a straight beveled shelf. Show more
