mantels
Shelves above hearths
Mantels is the plural of mantel, the shelf above a fireplace or the decorative framework surrounding it.
Family photos and keepsakes often line mantels: The Christmas stockings hung from the mantel.
The spelling mantle refers to a cloak or covering, though the two words are sometimes used interchangeably for the fireplace structure.
