Pearl Mantels 48 Bedford Mantel Shelf for Adults, Gristmill Finish

The first piece of furniture in any home often serves as the heart of the living space; nothing is more inviting than the warm glow of a crackling fire in an open fireplace. The flickering flames have a unique ability to elevate one’s mood and erase the stresses of the day within moments. However, for a fireplace to truly embody the essence of home, it must evoke warmth in our hearts even when the fire is not lit.

At Pearl, we view the mantel as more than just trim or molding; it is a stunning piece of furniture that stands as the centerpiece of the room, representing our roots, heritage, and traditions. Surrounding the mantel, furniture is thoughtfully arranged, precious items are displayed, and it establishes a sense of balance and stability for the entire area.

The Bedford mantel exemplifies industrial vintage charm, crafted from Red Pine and adorned with a black metal bradded band. Its hand-distressed finish, featuring a warm Gristmill chalk wash, not only enhances its beauty but will also evolve over time, creating a perfectly harmonized highlight. With a generous shelf depth of nine inches, there is ample space to display your prized belongings. This versatile piece can be used above the hearth, in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, den, or any space that requires a special touch for displaying treasures or additional storage; your imagination is the only limit.

For ease of installation, mitered hanger boards are included. The shelf dimensions are as follows: 48 inches in length, 9 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, with a weight of 25 pounds. To confirm the authenticity of your Pearl Mantel, look for the distinctive pearl inlay on the right-hand side of the shelf.

Pearl Mantels offer high-quality furniture, showcasing exquisite details and classic designs that effortlessly enhance any décor. The 48-inch pine shelf, featuring a black bradded metal band and a distressed Gristmill finish, is a striking choice for any style.

Keep in mind that each shelf is carefully hand-finished and hand-distressed, so the finish color and the degree of distressing may differ slightly from the images. While installing, remember that wood is a combustible material, and it is crucial to adhere to appropriate heat clearances. If you plan to place the mantel above a fireplace, it is essential to consult local building codes and the specific manufacturer's instructions for your fireplace insert or stove.

In summary, the Bedford mantel not only serves as an aesthetically pleasing addition to your space but also embodies the emotional warmth and tradition that make a house a home. Look for the pearl inlay that adorns the right side of the shelf as a mark of authenticity and enjoy the fine craftsmanship that Pearl Mantels delivers.
