Gothic Style Antiques
From
# 4855. An American Gothic Cast Iron Parlor Stove. Size: 18" deep x 29" wide and 28" tall to the top of the fire box with another 14" to the top of the finial. (the following information from a web visitor: thank's!) "The stove was cast in W. Poultney or Poultney, Vermont by Henry Stanley, likely prior to 1856 if the plate reads W. Poultney. The foundry didn't move, but in 1856 West Poultney was incorporated into Poultney, and if the plate drops the 'W.' then it would be safe to conclude that it was cast after 1856." Markings: (a little hard to read) "Poultney VT. Oct. 16, 1845" "Stanley's Patent No. 2". The age of this stove is consistent with the 1845 cast date. Condition: looks more rough that it actually is: someone painted this stove with white enamel paint and then painted over it with black paint; the box is intact with no breaks or repairs; the side door has a replaced knob; the finial underplate has two edge losses and the finial has a side 'ear' decorative element broken off and missing; two of the feet body support flanges have been repaired and there is loss to on foot (part of the body support flange is broken off and missing). Still all in all, it is in pretty good shape. The stove needs to be sandblasted and blacked. No holes in the body floor of the stove. I don't know if this style stove had a brick interior liner: there is none evident at this time. The style is Gothic with Rococo embellishments. Gothic stoves are not very common. Though box like in form, this stove still has a great style and design. Price: $650.00.
