Holland. Circa 1820.

​

These beautiful Dutch teestoofs were used to keep a kettle warm. Smoldering coals would be placed in the brass liner on top of which the kettle would rest.  

 

Though keeping a kettle warm these days is no longer a necessity, these mahogany teestoofs with their original brass lining and standing at 13" high are still handy as wastebaskets or jardinières. Whether you need one, a pair or perhaps even three, you can find them at Mill House.
