Even though we have nine (non-working) fireplaces in our house, we got a serious case of mantel envy while flipping through the Demolition Depot website yesterday. This 1870′s mahogany mantel and over-mantel came out of a brownstone on 128th Street in Harlem recently and can be all yours for the low, low price of $8,500. The entire piece is just over 12-feet high so probably only appropriate for parlor floor usage in proper Victorian-era brownstones. It’s way out of our price range but, man, is it a beauty.
