Mantels: Walnut Leaves

Reviewed by:

Massive corbels with carved acanthus leaves complement this late 19th century mantel. This vintage piece is fashioned from solid walnut and it's one of several original mantels that have been salvaged from older homes in and around the Minneapolis area.

Or, as the company offering this piece puts it: "this mantel will pass through our store and on its way to a better place."

Solid walnut half mantel with acanthus leaf is $4,500 (May 2006).

Dimensions: 23-1/4" wide x 52-1/4" tall.
