Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Architect Richard Morris Hunt incorporated the tile stove into the Tyrolean Chimney Room’s impressive overmantel.

The focal point is constructed from an antique tile stove known as a kachelöfen that George Vanderbilt most likely purchased in Europe. Stoves like this were used in the Middle Ages to heat castles, palaces, and ecclesiastical buildings. Eventually, they came to be used in the homes of the wealthy.

Created in the 18th century, it is comprised of tin-glazed earthenware tiles hand-painted with floral designs.
