What is a "mantel"?

A mantel is a horizontal shelf or structure that is typically placed above a fireplace. It is often made of wood, stone, or metal and serves both decorative and functional purposes. The mantel can frame the fireplace, offering a place to display items like clocks, pictures, or candles. In addition to its aesthetic role, it helps protect the wall from heat damage. Mantels can vary in style, from simple and modern to elaborate, and they often add to the overall design of the room, enhancing its warmth and charm.
