A gorgeous antique Federal hand carved poplar mantel, salvaged from an 1823 home in Columbia, Tennessee, outside Nashville. The house was designed by architect Nathan Vaught and finished in 1823 for Major John Brown II, who named the house “Annoatuck,†an Indian word meaning “a windy hill.†The mantel's top edge is beveled, and below the projecting shelf is a rectangle and dart patterned border. Underneath are panels made up of beautifully fluted starburst, fan and oval details, with recessed flat diamonds. The mantel's legs are also fluted, giving each the appearance of a square doric column. The mantel is in very good condition. It measures 78-1/2" wide, 57-1/2" tall and 8-1/2" deep, and has a firebox opening of approximately 53" wide and 36-1/4" tall. A coordinating mantel from the same home is also available for purchase, NFPM18-RW. Doors, windows, and wainscoting from the same house are also available.
