What is a "mantelpiece"?
A mantelpiece is a decorative structure that frames the opening of a fireplace, typically extending across the top and sides. It often serves as a shelf where people place items like clocks, photographs, or ornaments. Mantelpieces are commonly made of wood, stone, or marble and can be found in living rooms or other areas with fireplaces. In addition to its functional role in supporting decorative items, the mantelpiece adds an architectural feature to a room, enhancing its overall design and style. It can be a focal point, contributing to the aesthetic appeal of the space.
