chimneypiece
Hearth's decorative surround
A chimneypiece is the decorative framework surrounding a fireplace, typically including the mantelpiece and any ornamental stonework, woodwork, or tilework framing the opening.
In older usage, it may refer specifically to the mantel shelf itself.
The Georgian chimneypiece was the room's focal point.
