The Grist Mill Roasted Chestnut 4' Mantel Shelf Kit captures the rugged beauty and heritage of early American craftsmanship. Inspired by the weathered beams found in historic Kentucky grist mills, this mantel reflects a time when function and durability defined design, bringing rich character and authenticity to any fireplace setting.
Molded directly from an original 6” x 5.75” beam, this mantel faithfully reproduces every detail, including deep weathered woodgrain, tool marks, saw marks, natural checks and splits, and character-rich knots. The Roasted Chestnut finish delivers deep, warm brown tones that add richness and depth, creating a bold focal point ideal for rustic, farmhouse, or transitional interiors.
Crafted from Lexington Hearth’s proprietary non-combustible Burncrete™ formulation, this mantel offers the natural beauty of aged wood without splinters or combustible materials. Each piece is individually hand-cast and hand-painted, resulting in subtle variations in color, weight, and dimensions that highlight its handcrafted authenticity.
Certified to ASTM E136 standards for non-combustible materials, this mantel is designed for safe installation near fireplaces. Intricate detailing along all exposed edges enhances its realistic appearance, while the included mounting bracket and fasteners ensure a secure and straightforward installation. Proudly made in the USA, the Grist Mill Roasted Chestnut mantel delivers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern durability.
