The Story Is in the Wood.

Our mantels begin as authentic reclaimed timbers from historic American barns and structures, many dating from the late 1700s through the early 1900s. Each piece is carefully prepared in Pennsylvania to preserve the marks and character earned across generations.
  • Original axe marks, checking and natural patina
  • Individual character — because no two are the same
  • A provenance letter accompanies each mantel order

A Few Things Worth Knowing

Will my mantel look exactly like the photographs?

Because no two reclaimed timbers are the same, grain, color, checking and original markings vary. Product photos represent the style and character you can expect. Optional photo approval is available on selected products for an additional charge; check your chosen product page for availability.

Does my mantel include mounting hardware?

Our reclaimed wood fireplace mantels include mounting hardware, with the type depending on the mantel style and dimensions. Check your chosen product's installation details before ordering, and follow your fireplace manufacturer's clearance requirements.

What should I know about shipping and returns?

Lead times depend on the selected product. Return requests for eligible unaltered items must be made within 14 days of delivery, while custom items have additional conditions. Review our shipping policy and return policy before purchasing.
