Description: A brass bed warmer, historically also known as a warming pan, represents a period utility item for ensuring thermal comfort. The item is made of brass and features a long handle. The handle consists of a wooden grip part and a forged, spiral metal part connected to the brass vessel. The brass vessel has a circular shape and is closable with a lid. The lid is perforated and decorated with embossed floral motifs and a rosette in the center. The perforations allowed for gradual heat release and air circulation. The bed warmer was used to pre-heat the bed before sleeping. Hot coals were placed into the brass pan, which were then covered by the perforated lid for safe and controlled heat release. This type of household equipment was commonly used in homes for centuries to warm beds.
