Origins of the modern mantelpiece

If you have a fireplace in your home, you would most probably have a mantelpiece as well. A mantelpiece is also known as a chimneypiece and it originated in medieval times to catch the smoke coming from a fire. Although it had a pure practical purpose to start with, it evolved to include carvings and other decorative elements of the mantelpiece.

One of the world’s most impressive mantelpieces can be found at Palais de Justice at Bruge in Spain. This magnificent piece of carpentry is carved out of oak and extends the entire width of the room. The mantelpiece also includes near life size statues of Charles V and other members of the royal family of Spain.
