It looks like part of an old oil lamp to me.

My bet is on Ant...

I've run into this type of trim around the vent pipe from stoves or heaters. I could be wrong but it could be too small of an opening for a vent pipe.

Here is a pic that shows where it might be on another brand of antique oil lamp.

I think you nailed it Loco-Digger!

Ant has it!

At 4" it seems to be too small for a wood stove pipe escutcheon....

Best,

Gas heating stoves used smaller vent pipes than most wood or coal stoves. 4 inch was a common size pipe .
