Pearl Mantels 48 Hand Distressed Pine Wood Mantel Shelf with Optional Corbels for Home Use

There’s nothing quite as inviting as the gentle crackle of a fire in an open fireplace. The mesmerizing dance of the flames has the power to uplift your spirits and dissolve a stressful day in just minutes. However, a fireplace should do more than just provide warmth; it should resonate with our hearts even when the fire is out. The mantel is not merely decorative trim but rather a key piece of furniture that serves as the emotional center of the entire room. It symbolizes roots, heritage, and tradition, around which furniture is arranged and cherished keepsakes are displayed, offering balance and stability to the space.

Pearl Mantels is known for its exceptional quality, stunning details, and timeless designs that can elevate the aesthetics of any home. With a shelf length of 48 inches and a depth of 9 inches, this mantel has an impressive overall height of 10 ½ inches with corbels and 5 inches without them. The corbels themselves stand 5 ½ inches high, with a width of 6 ½ inches and a spacing of 25 inches between them. Weighing in at 22 pounds, each piece includes a distinctive pearl inlay on the right-hand side of the shelf, serving as a mark of authenticity for your Pearl Mantel purchase.

Designed for ease of use, the mantel allows for straightforward assembly and installation. Its versatility shines through as it can be mounted on the included hanger rail for a floating shelf effect, or you can opt to add the corbels for a more classic style. Each shelf undergoes a meticulous hand-finishing and hand-distressing process, meaning that the finish color and distressing may slightly differ from photos, giving each mantel a unique appearance. The hollow back creates the illusion of a solid wood piece while alleviating the burdens of weight and complex installation.

All necessary hardware for attaching the corbels is provided, though you'll need to procure appropriate mounting hardware for your specific surface. For instance, mounting on brick requires different supplies than drywall. It is crucial to keep in mind that wood is a combustible material, making it imperative to adhere to heat clearances. Always verify your local building codes and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific fireplace insert or stove before proceeding with installation.

Since its establishment in 1995, Pearl Mantels has been dedicated to assisting customers with their mantel transformations. When selecting your mantel, you can always look for that telling pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf—it’s your assurance of owning an authentic Pearl Mantel. Make your living space more than just a house; transform it into a warm, welcoming home where memories are made and traditions flourish.
