Reminds me somewhat of my grandparents huge old cook stove. It stood independently, flush to the floor with no legs. However, behind the stove was a large fireplace with a cooking oven and a warming oven, shelves and many interesting gadgets.
The frustrating thing was when my grandparents died in the early 60s, my father GAVE the stove, a seven piece hand stenciled bedroom set and lots of other furniture to a used furniture dealer, pleased that he didn’t have to PAY to have the items removed.

How frustrating. I'd love to have that old stove someday (don't have a spot for it in my 'modern' house. I really hate all the so-called upgrades to houses, like granite. How very pretentious and gaudy!

Oh Lord, that is tragic. People just don’t know the value, or the history, of the things they throw away for the sake of “convenience”.
