<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 200683, member: 44"]I believe this is called a ceramic stove. It is lovely. I suspect it is European also. Usually they have two doors like the example you posted. I haven't a clue on dating it or maker. When touring Europe we saw several **huge** ones in such palaces as the Schönbrunn Palace (built and remodeled in 1740-1750 by Empress Maria Theresa, mother of Marie Antoinette) in Vienna. It seems the walls of the rooms were doubled with corridors running behind the walls for the servants to use. The ceramic stoves were usually backed into the wall at a corner of a room. The servants would stoke and add wood or whatever to the stove behind the wall without coming into the rooms!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/asset/ceramic-stove/jgGYJ72Ze2CVBA?hl=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/asset/ceramic-stove/jgGYJ72Ze2CVBA?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/asset/ceramic-stove/jgGYJ72Ze2CVBA?hl=en</a></p><p><a href="http://theneotrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Scho%CC%88nbrunn-Palace-Vienna-Bergl-Rooms-Austria-Mural-Walls-6.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://theneotrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Scho%CC%88nbrunn-Palace-Vienna-Bergl-Rooms-Austria-Mural-Walls-6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://theneotrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Schönbrunn-Palace-Vienna-Bergl-Rooms-Austria-Mural-Walls-6.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://a-l-ancien-regime.tumblr.com/post/15711062044/sch%C3%B6nbrunn-viena-austria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://a-l-ancien-regime.tumblr.com/post/15711062044/sch%C3%B6nbrunn-viena-austria" rel="nofollow">http://a-l-ancien-regime.tumblr.com/post/15711062044/schönbrunn-viena-austria</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
