Arts and Crafts Mahogany Mantel

An Arts and Crafts mantel c.1910 in Mahogany originally from a large house near Ripon racecourse in North Yorkshire. It was made by Garnett of Warrington, a firm of well regarded cabinet makers that is a striking example of their design and manufacturing skills.

Where ever you look on this mantel you'll see a combination of subtle details and precision craftsmanship. The long tapering legs provide the basic framework surmounted by a band of hand carved, interlacing curves above which is a cornice with fine dentil moulding. The recessed frieze section is realised as a colonnade with three arched panels to the back with two tapering round columns to the front and tapered relief columns to the sides.
