The fireplace was the heart of many Gilded Age rooms, a symbol of warmth and luxury. Marvel at the artistry of grand marble mantels, often carved with elaborate designs – think classical motifs, floral swags, or even mythological figures. 👑 Surrounding tile work, perhaps in intricate geometric patterns or vibrant colors, adds another layer of visual richness. Above the mantel, a large, ornate mirror or a significant piece of art completes this commanding feature, becoming a true focal point. #GildedAgeFireplaceIdeas #MarbleMantelIdeas #OrnateFireplaceIdeas #VictorianFireplaceIdeas #ArchitecturalDetailIdeas #InteriorDesign #HomeFeature #ElegantInteriors #FireplaceDesign #GrandHomes
