[https://www.historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-research/publications/publication/?publicationId=4fb5a856-12cb-4671-9747-a59500e83317 Inform Guide: Fireplaces], published by Historic Environment Scotland on 1 April 2008 and last updated on 31 August 2020 states: ‘Fenders are designed to ensure that burning material does not spill from the hearth into a room and prevent other combustible items getting near the fire. They are most commonly made from steel or brass, although other materials such as iron are sometimes used. Despite often being highly decorative, they can be hard to keep clean and are sometimes replaced by a built-in kerb constructed from the same material as the hearth.’

NB A fender washer (or penny washer) is a flat washer with a larger outer diameter proportional to the central hole, meaning it can distribute loads more widely.
