Tile stove, first half of the 20th century

A tile stove installed in the home was one of the essential furnishings of  all kinds of rooms or chambers. Its basic function - heating  - meant that originally not too much attention was paid to it as a luxury object expressing the wealth and sense of aesthetics of its owner. Although initially it was a simple, strictly functional object, with time it became more representative and impressive in terms of design in residential spaces.
