Mantels

Since ancient times the hearth has been a focal point of the home.

What can complete the look of your fireplace better than the look of a mantel?

As a fire crackles below, the mantel above serves as a frame. Mantels add that extra finishing touch. They work to stylize the home and add and extra ambience. Mantels also help to emphasize the fireplace and enhance the warmth of the hearth.

Think of the decorating possibilities a mantel allows: Beautifully framed photos of family and friends could line the shelf. Candles could glitter and glow amongst flowers in vases. Mantel Clocks look timeless and tasteful as decorative pieces, Seconds and Surplus offers models that compliment your Mantel or can be wonderful stand alone timepieces. Awards, trophies and other recognitions would look distinguished along the mantel’s shelf. Holiday decorations could festoon your mantel and add to the magic of each holiday season. However you choose to decorate, Seconds and Surplus has a Mantel in the right style at the right price for you!
