Beautiful 19th Century Solid Oak Mantle in a Neo-Classical / Victorian / Art Nouveau mix of styles. The carving on this piece is absolutely stunning and done by a master carver. A gorgeous floral motif adorns the mantle apron completed with several species of flowers (daisy, sunflower, rose) and vine / leaves. The two pilasters have wonderful fluted columns with expertly carved Ionic capitals (See photos of closeup details) and very organic, whimsical, Nouveau / Arts & Crafts Tulip flower detail
