Kachelofen

The stove is richly decorated with gilded applications of foliage and flowers. The base resting on eight brass feet forms a square in the view - as a symbol for a stable foundation. The slimmer upper section has a medallion with a dove of peace as its central motif. The upper end is formed by a richly filled fruit basket. This is meant to symbolize the spirituality and wealth of the client. The design was inspired by the drawings of the baroque architect Donato Felice d′Alio.
