-Space Heater c. 1890

This cast iron "Space Heater" from the late 19th century is a decorative and functional object. The intricate design, featuring a latticework pattern and floral motifs, suggests it was intended to be a decorative addition to a home. The hexagonal form and ornate details point to a stylistic preference for Victorian design. The space heater would have been used to warm smaller rooms, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The "Space Heater" is currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
