The fireplace mantel or mantelpiece, also known as a chimneypiece, originated in medieval times as a hood that projected over a fire grate to catch the smoke. The term has evolved to include the decorative framework around the fireplace, and can include elaborate designs extending to the ceiling. Mantelpiece is now the general term for the jambs, mantel shelf, and external accessories of a fireplace. For many centuries, the chimneypiece was the most ornamental and most artistic feature of a room, but as fireplaces have become smaller, and modern methods of heating have been introduced, its artistic as well as its practical significance has lessened.

  • Een schouw is een stookplaats met daarboven een kap waarin de rook afkomstig van het vuur wordt opgevangen. Voor de introductie van de schouw bevond zich ergens in het dak een gat waardoor de rook van het haardvuur naar buiten werd afgevoerd, of verdween de rook door de kieren tussen de dakpannen. Weer later werd de centrale verwarming ingevoerd en werd de schouw niet meer dan een ornament in de kamer. (nl)
