Pearl Mantels Bedford 72 Shelf for Adults, Gristmill Finish

The fireplace is often regarded as the first essential piece of furniture in any home. There’s an unparalleled warmth and welcoming atmosphere created by the gentle crackling of an open fire. The flickering flames have the power to uplift your mood and dissolve the stresses of even the toughest day in mere moments. However, for a fireplace to truly embody a place within the home, it must evoke warmth and fond feelings even when there’s no fire burning within its grate.

Pearl Mantels views the mantel not merely as trim or molding but as a striking and beautiful piece of furniture that serves as the emotional focal point of any room. It symbolizes roots, heritage, and tradition, establishing a sense of belonging. Furnishings are often arranged around the mantel, with cherished treasures displayed atop it, rendering balance and stability to the overall ambiance.

Among the collection, the Bedford mantel epitomizes industrial vintage style. Wrapped in a black metal bradded band, this piece is crafted from Red Pine and hand-distressed to perfection with a warm Gristmill distressed chalk wash finish. Over time, this wash will gracefully fade, creating harmonious highlights that add character. With a generous shelf depth of nine inches, it provides ample space for displaying a range of cherished items.

This versatile mantel can be used in various settings—from above the hearth to the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, den, or any other area where a touch of elegance is desired for storage or personal treasures. Its potential applications are limited only by your creative imagination. To facilitate easy hanging, mitered hanger boards are included with the product.

The dimensions are notable as well: the shelf measures 72 inches in length, 9 inches in depth, and stands at a height of 5 inches, with a total weight of 37 pounds. An authentic Pearl Mantel is identifiable by the unique pearl inlay that can be found on the right-hand side of the shelf, ensuring its genuine quality.

Pearl Mantels are designed with exceptional craftsmanship, featuring fine furniture quality, exquisite details, and timeless designs that enhance any décor style. The 72-inch Pine shelf, accented by a black bradded metal band, sports a distressed Gristmill finish that adds to its charm and uniqueness.

Each mantel is meticulously hand-finished and hand-distressed, meaning that the finish color and the degree of distressing may differ slightly from what is depicted in photographs, providing each piece with its own distinct character.

Installation is made simple with the included mitered hanger board assembly. Whether you choose to highlight your mantel as a central piece or utilize it for functionality and display, you will undoubtedly appreciate the emotional and aesthetic value it brings to your home. Remember, the fireplace itself is not included; however, the ambiance it creates can be made unforgettable with a thoughtfully selected mantel like the one from Pearl.
