Finding the Right Fireplaces-mantels for You

While we likely wouldn’t mourn the invention of home heating and air-conditioning, these innovations did tragically reduce the widespread need for fireplaces and mantels in our living rooms.

Once an essential fixture in all homes, the fireplace, which, along with the chimney, is as old as the Middle Ages, was actually rendered redundant with the advent of the cast-iron heating stove during the 18th century. Victorian-era heating stoves were popular in the common areas of a living space for their capacity to heat as well as for their lack of smoke compared to fireplaces. However, improvements in craftsmanship as well as the Industrial Revolution meant that fireplaces were evolving in form and functionality.

Even as HVAC systems would eventually see to it that fireplaces weren’t a necessity, no mechanically engineered thermal heating and ventilation technology can replicate the feeling of warmth and camaraderie that a flickering fire guarantees. We just love a good fireplace.

“With antique fireplaces, you get heart, soul, character and architecture,” says Tony Ingrao, a Manhattan-based interior designer who purchased an important 16th-century French limestone fireplace for a client’s Greenwich Village townhouse.

Vintage fireplaces and mantels have earned their coveted position as desirable focal points in any room over the course of a staggering evolution in design that has yielded everything from intricately carved works of limestone to sleek works of wood paneling and rolled steel.

As log after log turns into ash, these iconic designs prove their timelessness and value, monetarily and as prized decorative monuments. Whether you seek to simply warm a space or completely transform it, an eye-catching new mantel for your blazing hearth — be it an elegant neoclassical design, a marvelous work of marble in the Louis XV style or an unconventional contemporary variation — is the perfect solution.

Find a collection of antique and vintage fireplaces and mantels on 1stDibs today.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023

    Whether marble is a good choice for a fireplace is largely a matter of personal preference. Many people appreciate the beauty of marble and value the material because it is resistant to the effects of fire and heat. On 1stDibs, find a selection of marble fireplaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, marble can crack around a fireplace. However, proper installation, including being ‘slabbed,’ helps prevent cracks from happening. Consult an expert for more specific information. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique marble fireplace surrounds from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best adhesive for a marble fireplace is a matter of preference. But for marble clear regular silicon adhesive is used, particularly the joints of the marble sections. As silicon is a very flexible adhesive, it is ideal to use it for various sections of the fire surround. The main advantage of using silicon over more permanent options is that it can be removed if not needed. Visit 1stDibs for marble fireplaces, mantels and fireplace tools.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, you can paint a marble fireplace mantel. As marble is a heavy natural stone that is expensive to replace, painting it with latex-based or chalk paint will help restore its luster. Find a variety of marble fireplace mantels on 1stDibs.
