Antique Questions Forum / Antique Soapstone fireplace mantle??

« on: November 24, 2013, 11:37:54 am »

I recently picked up this fireplace mantle from an auction for about 90 dollars. After purchasing it i was told that it was soapstone and that the metal insert for the middle was not part of the mantle itself. it came in an assortment of pieces and the way it is together now is with a series of clamps. If anyone could tell me anything about it or where to look for infomation on it, that would be greatly appreciated.
