Shop for a Fireplace Mantel Shelf

We commonly use the term “Mantel Shelves” to describe thinner, rectangular mantels ranging from 3 to 5 inches in thickness. While these shelves are frequently chosen to adorn the space above a fireplace, it’s worth noting that we’ve seen people use them in all kinds of locations throughout their home.

Be sure to also look at the Beam Mantels.

PLEASE contact us via email at antiqueww@gmail.com for a list of more mantels that are available. We are a small mom and pop shop and don’t always get enough time to update this list. We usually have nearly 100 mantels in stock at any time that can be viewed with other links.

Mantels with Metalwork

We’ve been working for over a decade with great blacksmith, Wyatt Bienfang at WLB Blacksmith Shop, to add authentically hand-hammered metalwork to mantels. We can start with one of the mantels above and then add additional ironwork or build one specifically for you. See Metal Straps for more information on ironwork. For more inspiration, visit our Fireplace Mantel Ideas section also for a nice collection of installed mantels. We generally do not pre-build mantels with metalwork. These are custom pieces and we are happy to work out the details with you including lots of inspirational photos and detailed drawings.
 Fireplace Mantel with Metal Cross Mantel with Greene and Greene metal bracket Mantel with metal rings

For any of the mantels above, we can cut them down in length and even depth, but we can’t make ’em any longer. We’ll cut and re-finish at no additional charge. If you see something you like but it is the wrong size or already sold, we probably have something similar available that we’d be happy to work up. 

Yes, indeed, we are literally a mom-and-pop shop. We answer the phone and we work hands-on to build these mantels. We’ve been doing this for almost 20 years and still love it. While we try to keep the inventory above up to date, sometimes we just can quite keep up. 

We really do pride ourselves in old-fashioned one-on-one service even though most of our business shipped across the country.

Again, please contact us via email at antiqueww@gmail.com for a list of more mantels that are available. We typically have about 100 pre-finished mantels on hand and another 500 or so that are raw. All of them are photographed and available for viewing.

We couldn’t be happier with our mantel from Antique Woodworks. We came in with specs determined by leftover mounting hardware, and Kevin accommodated all our specific needs and made our custom order process easy to navigate. He was very communicative over email, ensuring that we were on the same page with follow up questions and images. He even gave us multiple options for the grain of the various boards, taking time to explain why he thought different combinations worked well visually. We appreciated his friendly updates with process photos throughout. We also loved that we could see other projects online–we like the naming convention! It seems like Kevin genuinely enjoys his work and his craft. We received our well-packaged mantel and it fit like a glove on our existing mounting hardware. The customer service and prices at Antique Woodworks are fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of the piece. Thank you, Kevin and Mari! Would definitely return here for future custom pieces.

Antique Woodworks was wonderful to work with! Despite living many states away, it felt like we had an in-person custom experience working with Kevin. His responsiveness, consideration of our needs, suggestions, and wide range of solutions was wonderful. Our mantel is has surpassed expectations and completed our room. Thank you!

I bought a mantel from Antique Woodworks about two years ago. I should have posted this sooner, but we’re thrilled with the purchase we made. The owners cut it and did some fine tuning right on the spot, which saved me time for installation. Further, my wife didn’t want a mantel with lacquer and poly off-gassing in our master bedroom so the piece is finished with a wax product which is marvelous. Finally, we appreciated the owners giving us the background of the wood species and where this beam was likely harvested from. While a little out of the way from the Twin Cities, it was a worthwhile experience and I would recommend these folks highly.

Kevin created 2 beautiful mantels for our home! He is meticulous about the details and a true craftsman. His partnership with Wyatt allowed us to add iron details that made them each unique! Thank you all for adding such beauty to our home. We love them!

Kevin is a delight to work with. I have traveled most of my life for assessing and researching the architectural styles of different European countries. I was trying to design a mantel for my 1932 historical house and I never thought I could achieve that task till I met Kevin. Together we designed a mantle that came out just exquisite. Kevin’s work is nothing less than flawless and his attention to details is unmatched. Thanks you again Kevin.

Fantastic ‘hand hewn’ mantel from the mid 1800’s! Easy company to work with and even when I had a small ‘boo boo’ that I caused during the installation, they sent me the repair parts for a quick and easy fix.

Found Antique Woodworks online – and what a lucky find! Owners Kevin and Mari are the best to work with! I told them what I was looking for and they selected the perfect hand hewn barn timber beam for my fireplace project. Pricing, available inventory, great customer service – they have it all in spades. Never hesitate to work with Antique Woodworks! Looking forward to doing some more work with them in the near future…

The knowledge, selection and service provided by Antique Woodworks was simply the best. We were looking for a mantel and Kevin offered a wonderful selection, was willing to finish out a few for us to choose and offered some great ideas. Price was more than fair too. You cannot find a better business for reclaimed wood options, whether it’s a fireplace mantel or other furniture needs.

Kevin was most helpful in identifying a rustic mantel that would fit our needs and style. His communication was great and I could not have been more pleased with the level of service. The finished product was beautiful and has really added some unique character to our family room. I would strongly recommend Kevin and his company Antique Woodworks.

I can’t say enough about this company, to work with a person via email to custom order something so central as a mantle is a daunting task. Kevin does an excellent job of listening to your wants and matching it to the product he has in stock. Once the mantle is picked he makes very sure that you are in the know about what you’re getting and the process that the piece is going through IE finish or steel work. I would absolutely do it all over again.

What an exceptional experience purchasing a reclaimed beam from Antique Woodworks! We were able to review pictures of the raw beam and select the piece. It was then cut to our specifications and finished and final pictures were emailed. We were not obligated to purchase the mantle unless we liked the finish product. It was carefully packaged and shipped to us and was received within a week. So pleased with how it came out and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!

I worked with Kevin at Antique Woodworks to find the perfect mantel.He not only provided suggestions and photos, but took my photo of my fireplace and showed me what different mantels and lengths would look like. I have priced mantels from across the country and talked to multiple suppliers. Kevin was by far the best with listening and suggesting solutions while suppling a beautiful piece at a fair price. I couldn’t be happier. I strongly suggest you contact Kevin at Antique Woodworks.
