Antique Mantle from Build it Green

Antique Mantle Brownstone

Man oh, man are we excited! Not only do we have an ACTUAL approved building permit, we found this unbelievable mantlepiece at Build It Green (bignyc.org) this weekend. Click the images for a close-up.

Bought it and rented a truck to cart it over to the house that same day. Gotta love the lion heads with the dragon tails!
