    I'm interested in this piece. I was told it's bronze. Can someone shed some light as to what it may be called? Is it only for a fireplace?

    Hi, Rita! You'll want to be sure and post your photographs as Full Image in the future so they're easier for everyone to see. (As you're a new member, this one's on me.)

    I believe this piece of a fireplace set up is called the fender. And welcome.

    And not very successful if you build the fire high with coal. A fire guard is better.

    I've only been out of the UK for 18 years, but at that time, if it was separate from the grate, as this one is, it was called a fender. If it was integral with the grate, the bit on which the coal stands, it could well be called a front fire grate, and incorporated a sliding air control plate to regulate the fierceness of the fire. A fender was intende to prevent burning coal falling on the carpet.

    I think descriptions were regional, a bit like boilers, furnaces, geysers etc.
