"Warming pans have a rich history, spanning from the 17th century to the mid-20th century. These household items were designed to keep beds warm during colder nights, ensuring a cozy and comfortable sleep. One notable the creation of Gordon Sanborn in 1935/1942. This particular design showcases his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Another remarkable piece is the hot water dish created by Carpenter and Hamberger in London around 1800. Its elegant design reflects the sophistication of that era. Florence Stevenson's warming pan from 1935/1942 stands out with its unique style and functionality. It was crafted with both practicality and aesthetics in mind. Lyman Fenton & Co's footwarmer from the mid-19th century also deserves recognition for its innovative approach to keeping feet warm during chilly winters. Ray Price contributed two bed warmers, one dating back to 1939 and another from 1938. Both exemplify his skillful workmanship and commitment to providing comfort. Edward Jewett's warming pan from 1935/1942 showcases his talent for creating functional yet visually appealing pieces. Marie Famularo's warming pan from 1937 adds an artistic touch with its intricate detailing, making it a true collector's item. In addition to their practical use, these warming pans evoke images of domestic scenes throughout history - like a chambermaid pulling on a sleeping guest's wooden leg or "The Mother" painting capturing tender moments by the fireside in the late seventeenth century. Even today, we can appreciate these timeless objects as reminders of our ancestors' ingenuity in finding ways to stay warm during colder months. So next time you curl up under your cozy blankets, take a moment to remember those who came before us and their clever inventions like warming pans.
