PERFECT Antique Wood Stove

Click photo to Enlarge
I saw this amazing wood stove in an old house today. Don't you love the name? It's PERFECT.

This is a detail of the left door. The middle one is dated 1886. I can't imagine using a wood stove to cook on in the summer but it was just another day in the kitchen, back then. We have it so easy now, don't we? I say that after spending time hacking away at my driveway entrances with a pickaxe today. It was finally time to deal with the white stuff the snowplows left for me as I wait for more snow tonight. As soon as I recover from one storm, another one comes along. I haven't been to the post office since last Wednesday. Be safe and stay warm if you are getting snow too. xo

Hi Rosemary,

Great Stove! I hope the home was as charming.
I just love homes that have not been touched and some
lucky person will get to warm up near that stove.

I share your pain with this weather as I too am in NJ.
Almost slipped off an embankment this morning.
Praying for Spring to come soon!
Best,
Stella

I've prayed for snow, but not the ice we had this week. I could have used this stove for staying warm and cooking. Our county was declared a state of emergency. Middle GA? Strange. They say we get more in two weeks. Have to get a new roof for the house and the car. Yikes.

I have a stove almost exactly like that in my own kitchen. Just a few little differences. But otherwise the same stove. It warms a big part of our home and it bakes a delicious ham and a great soup. So nice to see that there are more out there:)

The stove has certainly aged well. It looks great.
