Carved in fine detail, the Gloucester mantel makes an attractive addition to the family fireplace. Directly below the mantelpiece is an attractive panel, creating space between the mantelpiece and the actual fireplace. This space creates a feeling of grandeur. This mantel is suitable for a large room, confirming the room’s size with its presence, and is just as suitable for a small room, with the fine detail conforming to petite spaces. The name Gloucester accurately reflects this mantel: in old English, ‘Gloucester’ means ‘fort on the glowing river’. This mantel embodies the old meaning, standing visibly and strong around the glowing fire.
