Ask An Expert-Question of the Month
Each month we highlight a question from our AskAnExpert service where you gain access to the largest community of antiques and collectibles experts on the net.

Q.What is this, exactly? It looks like an antique bed warmer, but instead of round, its square. It shows some scorch marks, so I'm assuming used over a fire, at least once.

A.  What you have is a chestnut roaster. Chestnuts are placed inside the basket and roasted over the fire.
