    Description

    DESCRIPTION: I have not seen anything like this before.  It is a cast iron Victorian 'heated' and slanted foot stool.  It that has a latched hinged top that opens to access the burner / heater.  The red and gold is hand painted and the base edge has simple decorative painting.  I will guess that this didn't sell well because of impracticality / poor design (probably got too hot for the feet?) and probably cost.  It weighs 6 1/2 lbs.  I found no name or ID on this.  The burner is attached or just stuck in place.  It is all cast iron except the center attached disc on top is thinner steel or heavy tin.  I was told this was made for using in a Carriage or Sleigh on a cold winter's day. :-)  You'd put you feet on and cover your legs with a blanket.
    *** Very Unusual and Interesting Victorian Piece - I could not find another example ***
    MEASUREMENTS: 9" across on top, 8" across base, 5" tall
    CONDITION: Extremely good condition I'll say.  I see no damage.  The cloth pad looks to be original but has some spots of loss (moth damage?).  I do think the two holes seen on each side of the top once had a simple wire handle.
