The famous russian architect Ivanna Mandik did similar work, but that medallion is 100% Mehoff. Im quite familiar with his work.

Are you sure it's not something along the lines of the work done by Hotek Ashowa after she relocated to the US?

not if Rosie Palmer has any input on this. Its a Mehoff, clearly. Although his bruh Gimmy Moorehead may have been involved with he medallion.

Seems consensus is it's Mehoff, but I'm sure Rosie Palmer was responsible for polishing that wood

I'm still not sure it's Mehoff. He and Pat McGroin are very similar.
Then again it could also be Phil McCracken.

I seem obsessed about this but- Rosie Palmer was very big influence on me for many years. Even now, I'll rely on her in a pinch. However no discussion of this topic would be complete without a mention of Dixon Koontz. This consumes a lot of my work and research these days...

Could be made by that German guy who did that style of mantles, Adolf Oliver Nipls was his name.

Buck Nekkid did similar work in this style while he was working in the studio of Curley Pubes. After the two had a falling out over Buck Nekkid's torrid affair with Anita Wyderbox the sister of Curley Pubes Buck Nekkid started his own studio taking Ms. Wyderbox with him.
Falling further under the spell of Anita Wyderbox Buck Nekkid let his work falter. Broke and now an alcoholic Anita left him and moved in with one of his clients one Dick Aiken.
Now Dick Aiken was a hard man to please and Anita left him after a year. She resurfaced two years later with scores of mantels of her own design. With the help of a mysterious benefactor by the name of Craven Moorehead she opened her own studio. He would not come around very often but when he did Anta Wyderbox would be sure to use her talents to attend to his needs and wants.
When the mantel market crashed Anita Wyderbox quit the business and became an exotic dancer going by the stage name of Fonda Cox. One night an old memory walked in the door, Buck Nekked. He had cleaned himself up and gone sober. He came in to rescue Anita. They left together moved to the suburbs and got married. Buck Nekkid got a job as a designer with the architectural firm of Packer, Beaver and Hymen.

Is that floral motif a Daisy Chain? If so it's undoubtedly the work of Frank Lee Gay.

I can recommend Aaron B. Tweenyerears for any future mantle projects.
I found this mantel at an antique shop and was wondering if anyone could tell me what style or era it's from.
Also if you have any suggestions for the type or style of shelf that could be used on it, that would be very greatly appreciated.
I believe it was done by a famous designer named Jack Mehoff.
Wow, great find, especially if it was done by Jack Mehoff. How much did you pay?
Mehoff does good work. I often google-image search his stuff for inspiration.
isn't that a headboard for a bed?
i would say it was probably from around 1930. i think you should get a quartzstone shelf.
On second though I don't think it's a Mehoff. It looks more like a Ben Dover.
What's that crest/medallion thing made of?
If it's molded, like formed up from a gluey white substance, it's definitely Mehoff. If it's carved wood, then I'd suggest it's by Heywood Jablome.
mike rotch did some similar work around the same time.
It's easy to confuse Jack Mehoff and Willy Stroker. Are you sure it isn't signed somewhere?
The Mediterranean style of the medallion might suggest Muncha MiKuscki perhaps...
Willy Stroker is my right hand man... I know it's not his work which is rather brutal and abrupt.
Don't like correcting peoples spelling, but isn't it Madoff? Sure I saw that in his Manhattan apartment, probably was auctioned off.
It's definitely not the work of Mike Hunt. The lines are much too stiff and rigid. Not fluid enough.

I'm sorry, but this is clearly the work of Al Coholic.
