Pearl Mantels 48 Antique Distressed Wood Mantel Shelf

There is nothing quite as inviting and cozy as the crackling sound of a fire in an open fireplace. The flickering flames have the remarkable ability to uplift your mood and dissolve the stress of a long day in no time. However, for a fireplace to truly feel like a part of the home, it should offer warmth to our hearts even when the flames are absent. The mantel serves not only as a decorative element but also as a significant piece of furniture, acting as the room's focal point and emotional anchor. It embodies our roots, heritage, and traditions, becoming central to the room’s arrangement, where cherished artifacts are displayed and a sense of stability and balance is provided for the entire space.

Pearl Mantels showcases exquisite furniture craftsmanship, featuring stunning designs that resonate with classic elegance, enhancing any interior decor. Their beautiful transitional style showcases graceful cove molding, creating an air of sophistication. With a generous shelf depth of ten inches, there is ample space for display, whether it’s for treasured collectibles or decorative items. The warm antique finish, lightly distressed for a vintage feel, brings character to any space.

This versatile mantel can be utilized above the hearth, or in other areas such as the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or den—basically anywhere you need that extra touch for storage or display. The possibilities are only limited by your creativity. Each mantel comes with mitered hanger boards to facilitate easy installation.

Regarding dimensions, the shelf measures 48 inches in length, has a depth of 10 inches, and an overall height of 5 inches, with a total weight of 29 pounds. Look for the pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf, which signifies that you have an authentic Pearl Mantel.

Installation is straightforward; there's no assembly required as the mantel is ready to hang right out of the box thanks to the included mitered board hanging system. Each shelf is meticulously hand-finished and distressed, ensuring that the finish color and texture may slightly vary from what is shown in the pictures. While the back is hollow to create the appearance of a solid wood piece, this design choice makes it much lighter and easier to install.

It’s important to note, however, that the hardware required for mounting the hanger rail is not included. You will need to obtain hardware suitable for your specific mounting surface, as different materials such as brick and drywall require different types of mounting hardware. Additionally, due to wood being a combustible material, it is crucial to adhere to heat clearances. Thus, before installation, be sure to consult your local building codes along with the manufacturer's instructions relevant to your specific fireplace insert or stove.

Since its establishment in 1995, Pearl Mantels has committed itself to assist with your mantel transformations, leading in innovation and authenticity. Remember to check for the pearl inlay as a mark of receiving a genuine Pearl Mantel.
