Description
19" (48 cm.) including chimney. Of unusual design the heavy metal stove has circular base for capturing ashes, with scalloped edge brass door, bulbous-shaped center and angled-side upper section with brass door for insertion of fuel, and with one upper brass hot plate for warming the teapot. There are brass side racks for warming mittens or towels, a copper chimney, brass claw feet, and a brass plate with incised numbers "1904". Excellent condition, and of such intricate and realistic construction to indicate that the miniature parlor stove was created as a salesman's sample. Circa 1904.
