A beautiful, elegant and unusual heater box from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century, mountain work. Round and on four nicely sculpted twisted legs
tapered with square uprights joined by a bent wooden belt in walnut, the top with perforation and a light to let through the interchangeable handle of the heating body in copper or iron or in terracotta. Elegant in its own right, this beautifully lived-in piece has seen the winters and the little frozen feet. The burned-out tray below shows intense use. The tray simply linked to the belt by four twisted iron wires. The multiple holes to let the heat rises from the incandescent embers, in the center the passage of the heating body socket. A testimony of the peasant world, a Popular Art curiosity of great elegance for a practical and refined accessory for the pleasure of the eyes
