There are a few things that can be as enticing as gathering around a warm fire with friends or loved ones during the cold months of the year.
The glowing flames dance freely to a soundtrack of crackling embers. It is a scene that commands our attention from the opening act to the closing moments.
Grandiose theaters, modern television sets and magnificent art have one thing in common: they are all beautifully housed in elegant settings that frame the scenes we gaze upon.
Our fireplaces are no exception. Fire is a living, breathing art and it should framed as such.
Mantels, like picture frames, can be works of art by themselves if constructed with great design and care.
The Carson Fireplace Mantel Collection by CVH Int is an artful work that can be customized to suit your individual tastes.
This hardwood mantel’s impeccable carvings are crafted by hand in Europe. the details carved into this wooden frame are reminiscent of those made popular during the Baroque Period (for more on that style, see The Baroque Period).
One of the great things about art is that it doesn’t have to be beautiful and appealing to the world. It only has to appeal to you.
The Carson Fireplace Mantel Collection comes to you unfinished, giving you the opportunity to either directly match or sharply contrast the other furnishings and decor in your home.
A great mantle can be a striking showpiece and focal point of the room. That is, however, until the fire is ignited. It then graciously plays second fiddle while you enjoy the show.
