Large Antique Buffet Food Warmer From The Household Supply Bond St. London

About the Item

London, England C. 1884 a Boyd's Patent Campaign Cooker Food Warmer, also known as The Universal Heater. This unit is larger than others, having four openings for warmers. It has a removable top with a scalloped edge, is silverplate and has interlocking monogram engraved on the top (the initials are LW/WL with a crown symbol). The stand bottom is marked, "BOYD'S PATENT" and has six turned wooden bun feet. The underside also has a plaque reading "THE HOUSEHOLD SUPPLY AND ATMOSPHERIC CHURN COMP'Y LTD, 119 NEW BOND ST, W". While missing the original spirit burners, modern day sternos would work well. This is a very attractive and decorative item that could be used for a variety of purposes including food warming and display, a unique charcuterie board, for floral display and so on. I have seen copper versions that comprised a cooker/warmer , two spirit burners with snuffer caps and a cast iron grill for a kettle, skillet, pan or pot. When the top hot plate was removed it turned the warmer into a spirit campaign cooker. The top plate could then replaced to keep the food warm. Some such warmers were used outdoors for shooting, camping or picnic parties on British country estates. Dimensions: 33"w x 9.75"d x 7"h Condition: Good, with silverplate largely intact, showing a few small areas of wear. In lovely condition overall for age and use.
