Spun Brass Bed Warmer
Spun Brass Bed Warmer
Early 19th century
This bed warmer exemplifies Federal period craftsmanship, a time when utilitarian objects were also works of art. The spun brass construction and precisely pierced lid demonstrate superior metalworking skills, while the original mahogany handle adds refinement. Bed warmers reached their zenith during the early 19th century when American craftsmen mastered European techniques while developing regional characteristics. One would place heated coals inside the secure pan and then slide it into the bed to warm before tucking in. This was an essential practice before the implementation of central heating.
