EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the 17th century - a Bassinoire, also known as a warming pan. This solid metal pan was filled with hot coals and used to provide warmth during cold nights by slipping it between the bedsheets. Before the invention of modern heating appliances, such as hot water bottles, people relied on tools like the bassinoire to keep themselves warm.
The intricate design of this bassinoire showcases the craftsmanship of that era, with its detailed engravings and sturdy construction. It is a reminder of how our ancestors found creative solutions to stay comfortable in harsh conditions.
Imagine using this ancient tool to heat up your bed before going to sleep - feeling the gentle warmth radiating through your sheets as you drift off into a peaceful slumber. The simplicity yet effectiveness of the bassinoire is truly remarkable.
As we marvel at this historical artifact, let us appreciate how far we have come in terms of technology and comfort. But let us also remember and honor those who came before us, who ingeniously crafted tools like the bassinoire to make life a little bit more bearable in times gone by.
