These are hallmark features of the Brittany style, which reflected symbolic use of men and women in traditional Celtic dress that represented a strong work ethic, piety, and the enjoyment of life.Most probably a commissioned piece, circa1880, this mantel is heavy, sturdy, well built by craftsmen of the period.Measurements: 46” ht. x 62.25” x 14.25”. Opening is 28.75” ht. x 39”.NOTE: All of our antiques are direct from Europe. I personally select each item for the quality, design, and unique characteristics that you will always find in our distinctive inventory at Geaux Vintage Antiques. …”with all that, why ‘Geaux’ anywhere else?” … less
