Victorian (Queen Anne, Eastlake) fireplace mantels & surrounds
Layered, ornament-rich interiors: overmantels, spindlework, incised Eastlake geometry, dark stained hardwoods and elaborate trim.
Many Victorian details translate well to modern production because they are built from repeated profiles and flat-carved ornament. A mantel, a built-in buffet or a set of carved cabinet fronts can bring the period into a house without recreating a whole room.
The mantel is the focal point of most traditional rooms. Its form changes sharply from style to style: Georgian pilasters and overmantels, Federal reeding, Victorian carving, Craftsman tile and oak, and rustic stone with a timber shelf.
