The Amherst brings the word "noble" to mind. This mantel fuses tradition with the new world, and can be a strong focal point of a living room. Hanging a photo above or placing a trophy on this mantel will place them in the limelight. Thoughts of a chilly New England eve are conjured by the Amherst – passing by the window of a Bostonian brownstone, you glimpse a view of a group gathered round a warm hearth. Reunion and conviviality are motifs of the Amherst, and it is the perfect complement to a fireplace that will be used throughout the winter, and will reunite family and friends.
