This style heater was designed for use in horse-drawn sleighs and carriages, placed at the footwell to provide warmth during cold weather travel. These heaters were commonly used in winter sleighs, carriages, and early open conveyances in the late 19th to early 20th century and are now sought after forequestrian collections, carriage displays, sleigh restorations, winter décor, and historic interiors.
