Noun

fireplace (plural fireplaces)

1. An open hearth for holding a fire at the base of a chimney.
   • 1963, Margery Allingham, chapter 3, in The China Governess^[1]:

     Sepia Delft tiles surrounded the fireplace, their crudely drawn Biblical scenes in faded cyclamen blending with the pinkish pine, while above them, instead of a mantelshelf, there was an archway high enough to form a balcony with slender balusters and a tapestry-hung wall behind.
