The Archstone Traditional Cast Stone Mantle will say so much about your home - warm, solid, natural, unique - all qualities of this stacked stone mantel surround. The look of individual stones with mortar joints, and a gentle arch at the top with a clean line keystone, this mantel is a timeless addition to any fireplace in limestone hues.

BRIDGEWATER FIREPLACE SURROUND

From Michael Richards

Arts and Crafts style fireplace mantels, or Mission style, are becoming more popular. These terms remind you of when hand-crafted really meant something. All MantelCraft mantels are hand-crafted, custom built one at a time by skilled craftsmen. Where once oak was the wood of choice, today more and more people are turning to natural cherry, as shown in this photo.
