Waldorf Astoria Hotel Carved Limestone Mantel Floral Shell Details

About the Item

A French limestone mantel stands adorned with extraordinary carved floral patterns, raised panels, and a truly distinctive centerpiece featuring a seashell motif surrounded by leaves. This antique mantel was brought from France and installed in the iconic Waldorf Astoria of New York City, which opened its doors on October 1, 1931. Displaying a commendable condition, the mantel showcases the natural wear and patina characteristic of its age, rendering it all the more captivating. The slightly weathered hearthstone, fashioned from beige Crema Marfil marble, further contributes to the antique charm. The mantel's original placement was in suite 23M, contributing to the historical ambiance of the space. Accompanying your purchase is an authenticity card from the Waldorf Astoria, adding a touch of provenance to the acquisition. It's important to note that the hearth has a noticeable crack, which might not meet the expectations of all potential client. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.
