Possible part of a ornate fireplace grate or stove? Age?

All, dug this near whats left of the foundation of a stone house built in the 1810s and lived in until the late 1860s. According to a 102-year old former resident, there were no doors and windows by 1924 when they moved in and by the 1930s stone from the house was being re-purposed elsewhere on the property. Previously I have found artifacts as old as the late 1700s and as recent as 1957 in the area. Given the ornate design I'm thinking it could be part of a fireplace grate or stove from the late 1800s. Look forward to your IDs and age.
