L’Horizon – Antique Cedar Fireplace Mantel

Cut from a reclaimed cedar beam from a barn in Saint-Télesphore, Quebec, L’Horizon dates back to the 1880s-1890s.

At 93 inches, it is the longest piece in our collection: a clean, slender line made to highlight a large fireplace or an entire wall. Along its length, deep scallops left by the axe bear witness to the builders who hewed it by hand, stroke after stroke.

Sanded, then protected with a water-based varnish, it reveals a natural beige-brown tone, while its end shows the golden heart of the cedar. Small old nail holes and natural cracks recall its long life in the barn’s frame.

One of a kind. Only one exists.
