(More customer reviews)If you're someone that is not familiar at all with a mantle scarf, allow me to enlighten you.Its really a rather fancy name for a lace or cloth cover for ones mantelpiece over their fireplace.There was a time when scarfs for your fireplace were as well known and familiar as curtains were in a home.They just naturally started to fade from style when fireplaces began to be more of either a country oriented addition, or a fashion statement built into some homes merely for the cozy effect, rather than the true warmth they can serve.Mantle scarfs come in many different sizes and styles, but Amazon only seems to cover a couple in the lacy design.I happen to own this straight edged style pictured.I bought the scarf directly online from the Olde Church Emporium, the same company you will purchase it from through Amazon.I actually never even saw or considered a mantle scarf before seeing one in an old movie years ago stretching across a fireplace.My own mantle is frankly not all that much of a handsome piece of timber, so I all at once decided that a scarf would be a perfect addition to the living room.After receiving it and installing it, I have to say that there is really nothing in my entire home that I feel is more handsome, talked about, or complimented on than this mantle scarf.Frankly speaking it is absolutely beautiful.It sets off and accentuates any manner or style of decor you happen to favor on your mantle.And it looks just as resplendent with old style pewter plates as it does with modern art fixtures.Everyone who has seen it so far has said that they think it makes the mantelpiece and decor look 100% more attractive and cozy, as well as in most cases have never even seen a mantle scarf before.Personally its my favorite accessory in the whole house.I may be a little prejudiced for like a lot of men, I love my fireplace anyway.But I actually think this frilly laced mantel scarf is most rich and handsome looking indeed.These mantle scarfs come in a few different sizes, and I would suggest making sure you get one that is well long enough.It comes out of the package a little stiff, but quickly relaxes after you slip it over your mantle.A simple tack in the back will keep it from moseying around, and for the front, I used a double back tape here and there to keep it flat until it did it on its own naturally. As to to the material itself, it is thick, strong, very soft to the touch, and although we have only actually washed it twice, it has taken both washes with no stringing or ill effects whatsoever.
If you own a fireplace and love the idea of curtains and lace accessories, or have a mantle that you feel would benefit from being dressed up and looking distinguished, I highly recommend you buy or shop for a mantle scarf.Its in my opinion one form of old fashioned decorating that really should have stayed with us through the years...
PS:As you can see in the picture, this scarf has an old fashioned log cabin/country style design that sits very well with my early American decor.However if you happen to prefer something a little more stylish in a contemporary design, may I suggest the lace scarf at the link provided.It is made of the same fine lace cloth as this one and also available from the same reliable company. Windsor - 20" x 96" Mantle Scarf, Ecru
