One day after browsing through a desert/southwestern architectural publication, I decided that we needed a turn of the century block-style, mission mantel. Here it is in a Wormy Maple with multiple ledge corbels and of course straight lines. The top is 9″ deep…generous enough for any size photo or portrait. My personal preference is to see this design around a 1″ tile mosaic facing.
The Victorian as you can see in the photos features true Craftsman Era corbels. In keeping with the Craftsman Era we’ve used a dark mahogany stain which is a classic brown color with subtle red tones.
The shelf featured here is the Vail model and is our most premium shelf. Although the one shown here is quite large please know that yours will be made to any length that you desire, at no extra charge.
The body is salvaged barn wood that has been white and silver washed. The darker panels, along with the large 5.5″ crown and rope molding are Knotty Alder which has been glazed, giving it an unmistakable depth. The center carved panel has been painted an off white. The corbels are end trimmed with wrought iron scrolling. This is truly a one of a kind design.
Each Vail is handmade and finished one at a time, we do not stock this style so please allow us the time needed to make this art piece.
This is our Summit model. The photos show it Knotty Alder with the “English Chestnut” stain. The natural variation of knots and graining in Knotty Alder makes each shelf and set of corbels very unique.
The shelf featured here is a brand new Snake River. The finish is “Espresso Black” with slight distressing and sand through edges. It’s crown and dentil mold combination gives this shelf a classic look, while the natural variation of knots and graining characteristics of knotty alder, make each shelf and set of corbels very unique.
