And, I like the table too!
The table was at my grandmother's farm. It was almost thrown away. Nobody wanted it, so I got it.

Ours was much bigger with two warming closets instead of one, had the reservoir on the right side like yours and it stood up on a base that had the classic "feet" of the Victorian age...but was far, far less beautiful than yours. Basic gray and black, no pretty metal work at all.
I'd love to see a picture! My grandmother talks about her mom cooking on a monstrous stove for 15 people. Of course people didn't take pictures of their stoves, but I wonder about catalog entries. Got any idea what brand yours was?
I think it was a Werhle? I've tried to find pics of it online but I couldn't....my brother has it in one of his outbuildings. I'm sure it's just sittin' there rusting. It took 4 guys to move it and even then they really struggled.
