Antique brass portable heater stool from Turkey, dating to 1930–1940, with a 30 cm high, 36 cm wide and 36 cm deep three‑leg frame and a decorative top featuring central reliefs, in acceptable used condition.
Description from the seller
This small brass and bronze heater-stool is presented as a traditional domestic piece that combines utility and ornament. Its compact structure, supported by three turned legs, conveys solidity and an artisanal air that recalls metal objects worked by hand in the first half of the 20th century. The top surface, conceived as a lid, is decorated with central reliefs that organize the composition into concentric circles and vegetal motifs, creating a focal point that catches the light and emphasizes the warm character of the metal.
The body of the stool shows regular perforations that allow heat to circulate, recalling its original function as a portable heater. The contrast between the golden brass and the darker bronze adds visual depth, while the relief work reveals the intention of turning a utilitarian object into a decorative piece with its own presence.
The piece is kept complete, with all its original elements, although the central lid needs to be straightened to regain alignment and restore formal harmony. That small adjustment does not affect the object's integrity and, once corrected, will allow fully appreciating the geometry and refinement of its metal decoration.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
