Stove
Designer Johann August Nahl
The ceramics stove, the eighteenth-century equivalent of a radiator, was often designed to be part of a room's architecture and decoration. The body was made of a special clay composition that could withstand the heat of gases that circulated from a firebox located below it (as in this example), in the wall, or in an adjoining room.
