Reclaimed Oak Fireplace Mantels
Authentic reclaimed European oak mantels, selected for their natural patina, aged texture and individual character.
Reclaimed oak fireplace mantels create a strong architectural feature while bringing warmth, texture and natural character into the home.
Sourced from historic European structures, each mantel carries its own aged grain, worn edges, knots, cracks, saw marks and tonal variation. These details are part of the timber’s history and make every piece individual.
Our reclaimed oak mantels are selected and prepared to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, with custom sizing and finish options available for projects throughout New Zealand.
Finish Options
Original Rustic
The original aged surface is retained, preserving natural patina, weathering, worn edges and historic markings.
Band-Sawn
A fine sawn surface creates a more consistent architectural finish while retaining the grain, cracks and natural character of reclaimed oak.
Dressed
A cleaner and more refined surface, suited to contemporary interiors while still retaining the timber’s aged character and variation.
Sizing
Fireplace mantels are selected and prepared to suit the proportions of each fireplace and interior.
Sections generally start from approximately 100 × 100mm, with larger and more substantial mantel beams available depending on stock. Lengths, dimensions and finishes can be prepared to suit individual project requirements.
As reclaimed oak is naturally variable, availability will depend on the size, surface character and finish required.

Wood burner surrounds
Open fireplaces

Selecting a Reclaimed Oak Mantel
When choosing a fireplace mantel, consider the overall width of the fireplace, the scale of the room and the amount of natural character you would like to retain.
Some pieces have pronounced cracks, weathered faces and irregular edges, while others can be band-sawn or dressed for a cleaner appearance. We can help select a suitable piece based on your preferred dimensions, finish and interior style.
Genuine Timber with History
Our fireplace mantels are made from genuine reclaimed European oak rather than newly manufactured timber with an artificial aged finish.
The colour, patina, grain variation and historic markings have developed naturally over time. No two mantels are identical, and photographs should be considered examples of the character and finish available rather than exact replicas.
