Exceptional and early, English bed warming pan with decorated brass lid and unusually having extra brass fittings up the shaft too. We know it is English as the pan is an exact fit for the lid. Early Dutch pans always had an oversized lid to the pan below. This warming pan is not too large. Both brass hinge and the rear pan are intact and all rivets are original.
These pans were originally filled with hot coals from the fires and used to warm the beds in winter. Imagine just how cold these period properties would have been before central heating!
