Can this mantle be easily removed?

[Aaron Scott]

Hello everyone,

I would like to remove this mantle and re-tile the floor and fireplace surround in a lighter colored tile and then replace the mantle. Question is, can the mantle be removed without damage? I'm unsure how these are typically attached to the wall. I assume it is possible and shouldn't be much work, but wanted to ask if anyone had done this specifically before.

Thanks.
