Late 19th Century Ocher Terracotta Bed Warming Brick 9½"

SKU: 20081

US$179
This tan brown glazed brique chauffeuse from the late 19th century is crafted from oven-proof terracotta and features a simple, rustic design with two circular openings for easier handling. Traditionally used to warm up beds, this chauffeuse would be heated in a slow combustion stove or by an open fire, then placed under the bed covers to provide warmth through the night.

Originating from one of the oldest homes in Lambesc, Provence, this piece is not only functional but also carries historical significance, reflecting the practical ingenuity of Provençal domestic life. Two similar pieces are available, making a charming set for those interested in authentic French provincial artifacts. As documented in Terres de feu, de lumière et de Songes by Henri Amouric, Lucy Vallauri, and Jean-Louis Vayssettes, these pieces serve as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the Midi region.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
