In many old classic children's and adult fiction stories, you'll read that one of the characters sat in a chair in front of the hearth. The hearth is the area or space in front of a fireplace. It defines the area of the firebox. Hearth is pronounced like the 'ar' in the word hard, not the 'ear' sound in ear or bear. The 'e' is silent in hearth.
