<p>[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 4263574, member: 16674"]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.</p><p>[USER=20558]@rita silverio[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
