There's a knob - like a doorknob - attached to the wall on each side
of the fireplace in my Victorian house. Anyone know what they were
for? Attaching a fireguard perhaps?
The fireplace in Alice Through The Looking Glass has similar ones:

a bell pull (wire operated) to call for a servant.
Probably, although having two of them, only a few feet

no, a "his" beel and a "her" bell.
Why does he have a beel and she a bell
