Chimney piece
Inform Guide: Fireplaces, published by Historic Environment Scotland on 1 April 2008 and last updated on 31 August 2020 states: ‘Chimney pieces are the decorative elements which surround the fireplace opening. When someone thinks of buying a “fireplace” they are often actually buying a new chimney piece to go around an existing opening. They are not essential to the working of a fire and many fireplaces do not have chimney pieces, although it is the chimney piece which makes a fireplace such a distinctive and visually important architectural feature.’
