6
Going further back in time, a Victorian inspired mantel brings ornate details, deep jewel‐tones, lace textures and aged metallics—rich vintage elegance for your holiday foyer.
Styling guidelines
- Choose a base garland of dark greens and burgundy with holly, ivy and berries.
- Add candleholders (real or LED) in brass or aged silver with taper candles for height and drama.
- Mix in lace, velvet ribbon, or fringe trims reminiscent of Victorian textiles.
- Place an antique mirror or ornate gilded picture frame above the mantel.
- Accent with vintage ornaments of cranberry, emerald, gold and touches of cream.
Why this works
The combination of rich textures and historical reference gives your mantel depth and sophistication. For lovers of “old world” style, this hits the vintage mark beautifully.
