Our Story
Once upon a time, antique marble mantels were an interior design feature, only accessible by the Gilded Age elite.
Today, Mantel House brings this historic architecture to modern-day homes — a preservation of history, and a progression of style.
Mantel House was founded on a deep knowledge of natural stone and nineteenth-century Victorian architecture, as well as over two decades of experience in consumer product development and design. Our founder, Molly Acorn, brings a unique approach to mantel crafting as both her own customer and an experienced designer.
This wealth of experience enables us to offer something truly special: fireplace mantels that represent the past while embracing the future.

Meet Molly
Molly Acorn developed a keen eye for beauty and quality, bonding with her mother over fashion and antiques. Both a fine arts major and professional creative director, Molly developed a keen understanding of what captivates people through fragrance and now applies that same multi-sensory approach to mantel crafting.
Molly approaches each client project and the creative process with a high level of aesthetics, technical detail, and personal collaboration drawing from her own experience sourcing and installing an antique marble mantel in her 1890’s Victorian rowhouse in 2020.
