A mantel is a horizontal shelf or structure that is typically placed above a fireplace. It is often made of wood, stone, or metal and serves both decorative and functional purposes. The mantel can frame the fireplace, offering a place to display items like clocks, pictures, or candles. In addition to its aesthetic role, it helps protect the wall from heat damage.
