Description

Like all the model stoves from Strasbourg in the collection this is a unique piece. The lower part is in the form of a fireplace with the top of a tiled stove curving out on top of it. The missing crowning element was already broken off before the model was glazed. This stove resembles other Strasbourg stoves in the collection not only in the shape of the upper part but also in the delicate painting of rose faux marbre and the sketchily applied flower sprays.
