Description: | Gas appliances were introduced to British homes in the late-19th century. They were very expensive, however, and only the wealthy could afford to buy them. As a result, small wood burning stoves, such as this Harry Hunt-designed office heater, remained popular. Wood-burning stoves did not need much maintenance, and as this advertising flyer states, they could be left unattended for several hours. Hunt’s stoves were beautifully designed and intricately decorated. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
