And some examples of ca. 1820 plate warmers, which, when attractive enough, were usually placed before the fire in the dining room to warm the dishes between courses, and once warm, placed on the sideboard. This could be frustrating to guests, especially in the chillier months, because it would block the fireplace’s heat from reaching them.
