A few weeks ago I
found this antique copper bed warmer
at an antique mall.
I have always wanted one and was so excited to finally
find one at a price I could afford.

I had the perfect spot in mind for it……
the master bedroom.

The detailing on the front is so pretty too!

The history behind the bed warmer:
Copper bed warmers were
once a common household item in countries
with cold winters, especially Europe.
It consisted of a metal container, usually fitted with a handle and
shaped somewhat like a modern
frying pan with a solid or finely perforated lid.
The pan would be filled with hot coals
and placed under the covers of a bed, to warm it up and/or
dry it out before use.
