If
you are a lover of
antiques, then you
probably been dreaming of
owning a beautiful vintage
woodstoves of days long
passed.
Antique stoves have
an absolutely amazing,
look about them that is
difficult to find in a
modern stove.
My husband and I
were in the process of
finishing our basement and
wanted a vintage stove, it
took us several years of
searching for the perfect
stove, but we found one
that had been under our
noses all the time.
In my
grandparents’ old barn
was a 4 O’clock stove,
which had once been used
to heat their parlor.
The small cast
iron, wood-burning stove
is perfect for warming a
room.
4 O’clock stoves
may be small cast iron
stoves, but what they lack
in size they make up in
style.
These stoves have
doors that allow for an
open fire, which both
light and warm any
settings.
In addition, ornate
castings and finials add
to the beauty of these
stoves, which in turn add
to any décor.
To help you in your
search for the perfect
vintage stove, we have
created a brief
description of a few other
vintage stoves, which will
both provide warmth as
they add charm to any décor.

across during my research.
If you happen to find
any antique stoves and have

your family with years of
