Pine Wood Mantel Shelf for Homeowners, 48, Antique Distressed

There’s an unparalleled warmth and charm in the gentle crackle of a fire burning in an open fireplace. The flickering flames have a remarkable ability to lift your spirits and dissipate the stress of the day in no time. However, for a fireplace to be truly integral to a home, it must resonate with warmth and affection, even when there is no fire burning.

Pearl views the mantel not merely as decorative trim or molding but as a stunning piece of furniture that serves as the room's focal point—the emotional center of the space. It embodies roots, heritage, and tradition, anchoring the arrangement of furniture around it while displaying cherished items that invite nostalgia. This balance and stability make the mantel an essential component of the room's design.

Pearl Mantels is renowned for offering exceptional quality in fine furniture, featuring exquisite details and timeless designs that complement any decor style. With three design options available, the mantel shelf arrives with three distinct pieces: the shelf itself, a pair of corbels, and an arch. You can choose to install just the shelf, opt for a combination of the shelf and the corbels, or go for the full set with the arch for a more elaborate presentation.

Handcrafted and pre-distressed from New Zealand Pine, the mantle showcases an Antique finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty through hand-hewn edges and a distinct distressed look. Whether your taste leans toward clean, classic, or traditional styles, Pearl Mantels has the perfect option for your hearth and home.

For installation ease, mitered hanger boards are included. Key specifications of the shelf include a length of 48 inches, a depth of 9.5 inches, and a bottom base depth of 6 inches. With an overall height of 12 inches when accommodating the corbels, the individual corbels measure 5.625 inches in height and 4.75 inches in width, with a 31-inch space between them. The radius is 43.375 inches, and the product weighs 24 pounds.

To confirm authenticity, look for the pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf—it’s your assurance of receiving a genuine Pearl Mantel.

As for assembly and installation, Pearl Mantels makes it straightforward and customizable to fit your needs. You can mount the shelf using the included hanger rail as a floating shelf, or choose to add the corbels or complete the combination with the arch. Each shelf is hand-finished and distressed, so expect slight variations in color and distressing from the images.

The mantel’s back is hollow, giving the illusion of a solid wood piece while significantly reducing its weight and simplifying installation. All necessary hardware is provided for attaching the corbels and arch; however, you’ll need to procure suitable hardware for mounting the hanger rail based on your specific surface, such as different requirements for brick versus drywall.

Since wood is a combustible material, it’s crucial to adhere to heat clearance regulations. Always consult local building codes and the manufacturer’s instructions for your fireplace insert or stove before starting the installation process.

Since its establishment in 1995, Pearl Mantels has been dedicated to assisting you with your mantel transformation. Known for innovation over imitation, each purchase includes the assurance of quality and authenticity, evident in the signature pearl inlay. Let Pearl Mantels help make your fireplace a true reflection of warmth and tradition.
