What is a parlor stove?
A parlor stove is a wood-burning stove built for use in a living room. The main purpose of this stove is to provide a sufficient amount of heat to keep the room warm. The stove, which is usually built of cast iron, is smaller and has more appealing lines than the larger stoves seen in kitchens. Shop a wide variety of antique parlor stoves on 1stDibs.
