Period
Late 19th C., early 20's.
Canada
Au Canada, la fabrication des poêles fait partie d'une longue tradition remontant au XVIIIe siècle : la plupart prennent la forme de boîtes à feu en fonte parfois abondamment décorées, comme celles qui étaient produites aux Forges du Saint-Maurice. Il semble que le manufacturier, James Bros. Foundry fait partie des fonderies qui s'engagent dans cette production dès le XIXe siècle, comme par exemple la Normandale Iron Works de Long Point (Ontario), James Rogers Armstrong, de la Toronto City Foundry, Henri Bernier, de la fonderie Bernier de Lotbinière, la Fonderie A. Bélanger de Montmagny, la Gurney Foundry Company Limited de Hamilton et la McClary Manufacturing de London dont les poêles sont très prisés dans la documentation commerciale.
Function
Chauffage.
Technical
Au XIXe siècle, les poêles de chauffage sont généralement alimentés au bois, surtout dans le milieu rural pourvu d'une végétation abondante. La plupart des grandes villes utilisent d'abord le charbon et le gaz de houille, disponibles dès les années 1830, pour l'éclairage et les activités domestiques et, vers 1900, profiteront d'infrastructures en assurant la distribution. Bien qu'il ait été utilisé essentiellement pour le chauffage, le modèle " Mystic " se distingue par l'intégration d'un cendrier et des plaques bombées assez décorées. La surface de chauffage comporte une plaque ayant pu servir à la cuisson des aliments. Le modèle " Mystic " était très populaire après 1850.
