Vintage Nautical Mantel with Faux Brick Insert – 53 ½" W

Description :
This vintage decorative mantel surround features nautical carved details across the frieze, including a central sailing ship medallion flanked by rope swags and anchor roundels. The mantel is finished in a soft blush-toned paint, contrasting with the red faux brick insert and a black marble-look hearth base. Measuring approximately 53 ½" wide x 44 7/8" high x 11 ½" deep, with a base footprint of 54" wide x 19 ½" deep, this piece offers strong visual presence without excessive depth. The interior opening is framed with painted brick-style panels, making it ideal for decorative use, electric insert conversion, or retail display staging.
