Have you ever been to the antique market, or watching the "Antiques Roadshow", and seen those wonderful woodstoves for days passed? They are absolutely amazing, especially if you can find one in good shape. A friend of mine recently installed a "4 O'clock" stove dating back to the early 1900's, and it looks marvelous! It got me thinking about woodstoves, in general, and I started to research many of the vintage stoves. I have listed the most popular models below. Get yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up, and read on!
Victorian Stoves - These stoves date back to the late 1800's. They are generally made from cast iron, and adorned with nickel. This early kitchen stove will meet all of your cooking needs.
Country Stoves - These stoves generally date to around the early 1900's. It is very similar to the Victorian stove, but more effort has been out into the nickel highlights and the clean, crisp casting.
Retro Stoves - These particular stoves are simply updated versions of the above. In the 1930's, when these stoves were immensely popular, the kitchen seemed to be the central point in one's home. These stoves were integral to the "modern" kitchen.
Cylinder Stoves - These stoves are likely the most easily recognizable of the antique stoves. They were renowned for their extraordinary ability to heat a home, while taking up very little floor space.
Potbelly Stoves - Early American photographs abound with images of the potbelly stove. These stoves were found in railway stations, saloons, brothels, and many other historic settings on the western frontier.
Parlour Stoves - Back in the Victorian era, these beautiful stoves were a focal point in traditional parlour rooms. At the height of their popularity, artisans adorned them with various designs such as cherubs, mythological figures, and floral designs.
Franklin Fireplaces - This stove is pure Americana. It was designed by Benjamin Franklin, and early American inventor, craftsman, and President. All wood stoves used for heating owe their heritage to Benjamin Franklin, and his efficient design.
These are but a few of the stove types I came across in my research. These stoves are all wonderful examples of design and function. If you happen to see any of these stoves while shopping for antiques, do let me know. Or buy one for yourself! You won't regret it! Kim Filler loves shopping for antiques in obscure, out-of-the-way markets. She is currently obsessing about the Franklin Fireplace. When she is free from her daily pursuits, she writes for fireplacesandwoodstoves.com - a website of interest to those who enjoy fireplaces and woodstoves featuring information on wood burning stoves, old antique wood stoves, fireplace mantel information and more.
