HISTORICAL DUTCH TEA STOVE
This large antique Dutch tea stove with copper kettle is an impressive survivor from the Willem III era, circa 1860. Standing 77 cm tall, it features a slatted wooden stand — likely walnut — with elegant lamellae and brass fittings. Its tall form and fine craftsmanship show it was both functional and a status symbol in wealthy 19th-century homes.
