Hmmm ... I took it to mean exterior—as in outside.  If he meant the mantle or above the mantle:

Very baronial looking.  Fine craftsmanship.  Thank you for posting.  I’d love to change one of my fire surrounds to something like this.

A lovely room Anna and I like the simplicity of your shield. The design on the frieze just below the mantle on your fireplace looks familiar - lotus or papyrus perhaps?

Thank you Richard smile Indeed, I incorporated the motif of an Egyptian lotus and the vertical supports are decorated with stylized palm tree leaves .

Here is another example displaying the Kimball coat of arms, from the Pavillion room of Brown University:

And here a Victorian oak mantle that includes a carved coat of arms:

A very ancient tradition and one that is retively inexpensive (compared to carved wood mantles etc.) is the cast iron armorial fireback that was used to shield the bricks at the rear of the fireplace.

This one is impressive , with all sculptures ,carvings, gilding, mural paintings and this what I think is a Victorian majolika ,typically brightly painted ceramic tiles ,reminding me of an Arabian style widely used till now in Tunisia and Marocco.But lets say it, it was built by the richest man at that time .

I’d say it’s one of my very favorite solutions .If you can imagine the reflection of the fire dancing in the fireplace it makes very lively , enjoyable display.

In my climate zone the chimney is rarely used ,so I decided to emphasize it’s exterior more.
