Carole Lombard elegantly posing. The bareness of her mantelpiece is balanced out by the painted brick hearth and tastefully decorated side tables. The woman herself is also the most fetching mantelpiece ornamentation in existence.
Vivien Leigh's majestic fireplace is probably one of the most elaborate. The stone carving, the candelabra, and the hearth gate is all rather becoming. I'm naming this particular style: Gothic-hacienda-chic (pronounced 'sheek').
And of course, Miss Alice Liddell's enchanted mantelpiece. No other rivals it because who else do you know of that has such charming creatures ready to quiz you with riddles and throw in some witty banter?

May I make a suggestion? Watch the Joan Crawford film "Queen Bee" and there is a scene where she takes her arm and wacks everything off an elegant mantlepiece. It's VERY engaging!
