Solid Wood Christmas Live-Edge Fireplace Mantel Shelf
Solid Wood Christmas Live-Edge Fireplace Mantel Shelf
The Solid Wood Christmas Live-Edge Fireplace Mantel Shelf works best above a fireplace, where it holds garland and candles in December and framed photos the rest of the year. It is cut from one thick, heavy slab of solid wood.
Built From One Slab
There is no hollow core, particle board or veneer here. The front edge keeps the natural curve of the tree, carved and sanded by hand until it is smooth to the touch. Knots, grain variation and warm tones give each mantel its own face.
What It Holds
- Seasonal holiday decor and garland
- Framed photos and artwork
- Brass candleholders and lanterns
- Dried floral arrangements
Where It Fits
Mount it over brick, stone or an electric fireplace as the room's focal point. It also works as a heavy-duty floating shelf in an entry, living room or home office. The deep top surface gives you room to layer objects rather than line them up in a single row.
Because the slab is thick, the mantel is heavy. It must be secured to solid masonry or wall studs during installation.
Each mantel comes from a natural slab, so knots, small checks and the line of the edge will differ from the photos. No two are identical. Every piece is handcrafted to order by a partner artisan workshop.
Shipping, returns & care
Shipping is free on U.S. orders of $75 or more; orders under $75 ship for a flat $5.95. We currently ship to U.S. addresses only.
This piece is handcrafted to your order by our partner artisan workshops: about 7-10 days of cutting and carving, then photos of your actual piece for your approval, then about a week of finishing and crating. It ships directly to you with tracking and arrives in another 3-7 business days - about 3-4 weeks in total. Contiguous U.S. only; contact us for Alaska or Hawaii. Full details on our Shipping Policy.
You can change or cancel this made-to-order piece within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund. Before finishing we send photos of your actual piece - once you approve them, it is final sale and cannot be returned for change of mind.
If it arrives damaged or defective, email us within 7 days of delivery with photos and we repair, replace or refund it at no cost to you. Natural variation in grain, knots and colour is part of handmade wood and is not a defect.
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. See the full Refund Policy.
Choose your size from the options above; every measurement is listed in the size names and the description. Because each piece is cut from natural wood, grain, knots and colour vary, and large pieces can differ by up to about an inch.
Dust with a soft dry cloth, keep the piece out of standing water and long hours of direct sun, and refresh oiled finishes with a wood oil once or twice a year.
