do you have idea of what kind of stain
What is the mantel made of? and do you know what the stain is?
You can try a paste of Oxyclean. Leaving it for hours or overnight, and refreshing the paste in the mornings, until gone.
The key is of what kind of material is the mantel made. Second, what is the nature of the stain?
Especially since you said that the area is looking rough it looks like it's time to sand, prime, and paint. Anything wet that you put on it will make it worse.
So much easier than trying to get a stain out of natural marble, which is what I was envisioning.
My guess is that batteries in the candles might have been leaking and the acidic contents destroyed the paint. I try to view every disaster as an opportunity. You could consider a new color. My paint preference for this kind of project is Rustoleum's Painter's Touch. Or if the design of the mantle and your skills permit, adding a piece of hardwood like oak or cherry as an overlay on top.
