Antique Cast Iron Miniature Salesman Sample Stove

This item is an antique miniature stove, likely a salesman's sample or a high-quality child's toy from the late 19th to early 20th century. Constructed entirely of heavy cast iron, it features an intricate Victorian-style scrollwork and rococo-style filigree relief throughout the body, oven door, and legs. The stove is finished in a traditional matte black iron patina, showing some light surface rust and oxidized wear consistent with age. It includes a multi-tiered warming shelf or splashback, a main cooking surface with several circular burner plates, and multiple functional hinged doors for the firebox and oven. The piece sits on four elegantly curved cabriole-style legs with decorative cast detailing. Included are miniature accessories such as a small pot and a brass kettle, which add to the display value. While no specific maker's mark is visible in this view, the casting quality suggests a well-known manufacturer from the Victorian era. The overall condition appears stable with no major cracks or missing structural components, though the surface shows a genuine aged patina. This item is a classic piece of Americana, reflecting the robust craftsmanship of industrial-era kitchenware in a compact, decorative scale.
