About the Item

Impressive late 19th-century North American architectural fireplace mantel, circa 1905, constructed in solid fir and found in Vancouver, British Columbia. At approximately 8 feet wide, the mantel has substantial architectural presence. Tall paneled pilasters flank the large firebox opening beneath a broad projecting mantel shelf with a continuous band of dentil molding. Fine turned decorative trim surrounds the firebox, centered by a restrained carved keystone. The upper section features a substantial three-panel overmantel with molded framing and a projecting cornice, giving the piece the proportions and presence associated with substantial residential and institutional interiors of the period. The original surface has been stripped, exposing the warm natural color and pronounced grain of the old fir. Wear, marks, old mounting evidence and minor losses remain from its previous installation and are consistent with its age and architectural use. A particularly strong example of North American architectural millwork, salvaged in Vancouver and suitable for use as a fireplace surround or as a significant architectural feature.
