How to renovate this antique fireplace

Agree with all the above. as @Odds says the odd little wrinkle is part of its history. Any paint you have to hand will be fine to paint the mortar

I'm not sure i'd go much further than you've already done - nice job, btw(y)
It's always tempting to get such things 'good as new' but bear in mind it's a Victorian piece and deserves to keep a hard earned wrinkle or two. If the 'burned pan' material is flaky then gently remove it but otherwise a rub down with a fine scourer should suffice.
Looking good now!

That looks great. Have you got the grate front? If not it might be an idea to keep an eye out for one - it clips in to the holes on the front of the surround. Or you could just leave it like that and stand something ornate in the fire place. Either way - good job!
