AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful, very sturdy antique foot stove (carriage stove) made of heavy zinc, equipped with a fully functional, retractable metal ashtray/sliding grate at the bottom. This type of stove was used in the early 20th century to heat feet and spaces in cold rooms, churches, or during transport in carriages and early automobiles. A test with glowing coals was placed in the drawer to emit heat.
The chest features a double row of ventilation holes at the top and bottom for optimal oxygen supply and heat circulation. The top side is equipped with a sturdy metal handle and stamped initials "J.M.".
Material and quality:
The object has been extensively tested and is completely non-magnetic, which guarantees the authenticity of the heavy, pure rolled zinc (not inferior zinc-coated iron or tin). The stove has a fantastic lived-in, authentic patina with signs of age that enhance its industrial character. Fully intact with original hardware and side handles. A rare and sturdy decorative object with museum-worthy details.
• Length: 42 cm
• Width: 32 cm
• Height: 31 cm
• Weight: 10 kg
In good, original unrestored vintage condition with appropriate patina and slight surface corrosion in line with its age. Mechanical parts (ashtray/grate and latch) operate properly.
