Ornate gas parlor stove used during the Victorian era, to stylishly heat smaller rooms. Referred to as a "jeweled" heater due to the decorative, glass gems set into the four columns/chimneys. The jewels would light up and glow when the gas flames were lit. Produced by the Bridge & Beach Manufacturing Co., which was a prominent U.S. cast-iron foundry in St. Louis, Mo. known for its "Superior" line of stoves and ranges. The company was a major industry leader during the 19th-early 20th century. The original stove would have been black cast-iron or nickel-plated but has since been refinished in antique red with gold accents. We cannot verify if the stove was refinished using the correct, high-temperature paint or if the gas nozzle is functional and therefore recommend that the stove be used for decorative purposes.
