Dear Poster,
I would LOVE to buy one or two of your mantels (if I can afford it) for my house. I can’t get the email to work either, but would you call me at 503-490-5511?
I am not a “re-seller” and could come get them out and pick them up etc. And I won’t give you any sh_t for taking them out! 🙂
If you have a four story brownstone with five mantles, it means you have all of the original ones. The back of the garden floor would have had a cast iron cooking stove in what would have been the kitchen.
It’s relatively rare to have all of the mantles. I have them in my place. I think people are just reacting to that since most who love these old houses love the mantles, whether the fireplaces are still used, or for decorative purposes.
I agree with the others that it’s a shame they are not being retained. It most likely relfects a lack of foresight in designing the spaces your renovating. Offensive to say so, but hey, just my opinion. Hopefully you’re not ripping out any other in tact original detail.

Is Victor a reseller who’ll just dust these mantles o=off and sell them to the next yuppy? Got to be pretty desperate to put your e-mail out there Mr. Victor!
Please, Renovate322@yahoo.com, try to give these mantles a nice home where they’ll stay, not throw them into the (overpriced) salvage trade.
If one were to buy one, Who would remove the mantles (carefully) and possibly deliver?
I’m interested in one – tried your email but it didn’t go through – please reply to vs@victorschrager.com
Thanks
I could use a mantle, how much are you asking?
Hi OP,
I might be able to use a couple of mantles. How much were you asking for them? Is the one in the photo the one in the best shape? Is the painted one slate or marble?
No offence to everyone who finds these kinds of original fireplaces beautiful but — they are okay. They are standard. Get over it.
Every brownstone I walk into looks identical, no matter how many mid-century modern frills have been tacked up (ooh saarinen table! ooh Design Within Reach kooky chandelier!) No one has the balls to actually adapt the existing structure in a personal and provocative way.
So I love the fact that the OP is combining new with old, breathing some life into these staid buildings instead of just preserving them in the formaldehyde of rote restoration.
Good for you. And I challenge all the renovators out there to grow some balls and dare to use your own individualism (or do some research and steal a little bit of other people’s ideas, where they might work for you). YEs, you can paint over wood. Yes, you can replace original fireplaces. It’s New York, people. You have no excuse to be boring, none what so ever.
Really people, who asked for the judgmental comments on how the poster is doing renovations?!? I love how so many on this site feel entitled to make petty, uninformed comments. you have NO idea what the renovations will be like. Poster is trying to do good thing and the thanks he/she gets are catty comments and unsolicited/uninformed judgments.
