Can you post a photo of the whole mantel? I really like that design. I need to build one for the dining room and am collecting ideas.

What are the two partially labeled bottles in the last picture?  They resemble Saratoga type mineral water bottles....

Thanks for the picture, Bill.  It is known that the mineral water bottles were often re-used, but it isn't often that you find one with a label on it.  It looks great on your mantel.

that is a gorgeous mantel Bill!  A true piece of American craftsmanship.   Interestingly the center sunburst is a Philadelphia cabinetmaker calling card... all though as we all know the sunburst design was very popular during the federal period...
