At The Mantel Shoppe, craftsmanship is our business. Nothing epitomizes this better than The Sturbridge. The stained-wood fireplace mantel has a sleek, unadorned appearance — so characteristic of traditional Arts and Crafts design — that sets it apart from our other stellar designs. With straight lines and simple, rectangular shapes, The Sturbridge elevates geometric pattern to an art. This is true Mission style at its finest.
It’s the understated elegance of this artistry that defines The Sturbridge. Showcasing handcrafted workmanship, nature itself gives this rustic wood mantle its innate beauty. The details make all the difference. Staining the wood, rather than painting it, for instance, displays the lovely intricacies of the wood grain to best advantage. While oak is the time-honored selection for Mission designs, we also offer a wide array of other types of wood for your selection:
- poplar
- maple
- mahogany
- cherry
- alder
- pine
- cypress
- walnut
As with all our creations at The Mantle Shoppe, The Sturbridge is an original stained-wood fireplace mantel design, built to your specifications and customized for your individual fireplace. A deft blend of rustic and refined elements, this mantel coordinates beautifully with virtually any décor from traditional to country to contemporary. Whether your desire is for the authentic Mission style represented by The Sturbridge or a personalized variation on this theme, we can create whatever you envision, ensuring that your mantel enhances your home for many years to come.
