Pearl Mantels 550-48 Richmond Fireplace Mantel for 48 Width

The fireplace is often the first piece of furniture that welcomes you into a home. Nothing compares to the comfort of a crackling fire in an open fireplace—the flickering flames can instantly uplift your mood and dissolve the stress of the day. However, a fireplace becomes truly meaningful when it continues to warm our hearts even when the flames are absent. Pearl Mantels sees the mantel not merely as decorative trim but as an exquisite piece of furniture that serves as the emotional heart of the room. It embodies tradition, heritage, and a sense of belonging. Surrounding furniture is arranged thoughtfully around it, cherished items are beautifully displayed atop it, and it provides harmony and stability throughout the entire space.

The Pearl Mantels collection boasts furniture-grade quality, striking details, and timeless designs that can elevate any home's decor. For example, the Richmond mantel features crisp, classic lines that seamlessly integrate with various styles. Crafted from medium-density fiberboard (MDF), a popular composite material used for furniture, cabinetry, and decorative moldings, this mantel is designed with convenience in mind.

It ships in three distinct pieces: two legs and one header. The assembly is user-friendly, with legs that easily attach to the header using simple nuts and bolts. Additionally, a mitered hanger board is included to facilitate straightforward installation, along with a three-piece mitered scribe molding set designed to conceal any gaps once installed. With a projection of 1.5 inches from the wall, the mantel creates a convenient recess for your choice of tiles, stone, or marble.

Key dimensions for the Richmond mantel are as follows: it has an interior width of 48 inches, a height of 42 inches, and a base width (from outside leg to outside leg) of 65 inches. The shelf measures 70 5/8 inches in length and 8 inches in depth, while the overall height reaches 57 1/4 inches. Weighing 108 pounds, this sturdy mantel is a significant yet elegant addition to your space. An authentic Pearl Mantel can be recognized by the pearl inlay located on the right side of the shelf.

Available in a paint-grade finish, the Richmond mantel comes pre-painted in white and is ready for immediate hanging. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can sand and prime the surface to select your own color scheme.

Specifically designed for both traditional and modern fireplaces—whether real or electric and mounted to the wall—the mantel also serves as a perfect platform for displaying decorations.
