This style of stove was used for heating, but it also often had a single cook lid under the centerpiece on the surface of the stove. It had decorative columns, draft control, and other features that made it unique. The column stove began showing up around 1830. Johnson, Geer & Cox was a famous manufacturer and for sale listings at Rare Antique Stoves are in the $2000 to $4000 range; Green Island Stove Works was another brand that sold this kind of stove.
The cylinder stove came in several sizes and was very popular during the Victorian era. The smallest would be used to heat bedrooms and other small rooms while the larger size would easily heat a ballroom or double parlor. These stoves started being manufactured in the 1800s and were considered top of the line heating in the earliest years of the 1900s. Fuller Warren was a top manufacturer and two designs, the Bonny Oak (2018 sale) and Stewart Oak (2017 sale), went for $375 and $400, respectively, at LiveAuctioneers. A Cribben & Stexton brand model went for about $100 in 2014. Other manufacturers included J.B. Clute, J.S. & M. Peckham, and Voss and Company.
Parlor stoves were used to heat the fancy front parlors of Victorian homes. Created with all of the embellishments that Victorians loved, these intricately detailed stoves kept Victorian society toasty in their drafty winter homes. A signed G.K. Kane brand stove with floral details sold for $60 on LiveAuctioneers in 2019. Johnson, Geer & Cox was another famous manufacturer during the Victorian era.
Later Victorian parlor stoves, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, had fewer details and were larger in size than their predecessors. They often had cook tops hidden on them, as well as openings in the doors so that the fire was visible. A restored Glenwood 1903 Weir brand box stove sold for $325 at LiveAuctioneers in 2016. A large Great Western Stove Company Banquet Puritan model was sold on eBay in 2020 for $1,300. While the eBay model is undated, the Great Western Stove Co. made cookstoves from around 1875 through the 1930s.
In the 1740s, the six-plate also appeared, while later, in 1760, people were able to see the ten-plate cook stove. What made the ten-plate type of stove unique at the time was the fact that it included an oven too, while having two hinged doors.
Then, in the early 20th century, innovations were made to wood stoves. Not only were they larger, but they also had some additional features. A water reservoir or warming drawer could be found beside or above the firebox.
Obviously, these stoves were made to be used in the kitchen. To help with cooking, they had an oven on one side and one to four burners at the top. Also, on the other side of the stove, there was a stove box to start a fire by burning wood.
Most people are familiar with the cast-iron wood-burning stove. Owners would insert wood inside through the door to use it. A pipe was coming out from the back of the stove, and the unit was made from cast iron.
To show cast-iron patches, a lot of antique parlor stoves will appear to have a chipped paint look. Large cast iron patches are indicators of an older model, therefore a confirmation of an antique unit.
Models like the 10-plate stove, for instance, may cost more than $3,000 in auctions. Of course, this price only applies as long as the stove has no flaws. The same value usually applies to a working parlor stove dating back to 1853. 2ff7e9595c
