Domestic object - Colonial Oven, c. 19th century

In this example the oven has been inserted into a fireplace and a wood fire would be built underneath the oven to enable the oven to heat up enough to bake items. Large pots could be placed on top of the oven to enable cooking or to heat water.Sheet steel colonial oven in kitchen of Amess House churchill island, oven, kitchen -
