Antique or Vintage Copper and brass bed warmer, Claridge's Hotel London.

Copper and Brass bedwarmer, originally the property of Claridge's Hotel, London. The handle appears to be varnished oak.

The condition is generally good. There is a slight wiggle between the wooden shaft and the pan.

Please study the images closely.

This is a highly decorative item: would look stunning displayed against a wall.

Maximum length (pan and shaft) is just short of one metre.

Claridges is a 5-star hotel at the corner of Brook Street and Davies Street in Mayfair, London. [It] was founded in 1812 as Mivarts Hotel, in a conventional London terraced house, and it grew by expanding into neighbouring houses. In 1854, the founder (the father of biologist St. George Jackson Mivart) sold the hotel to a Mr and Mrs Claridge, who owned a smaller hotel next door. They combined the two operations, and after trading for a time as Mivarts late Claridges, they settled on the current name. The reputation of the hotel was confirmed in 1860 when Empress Eugenie made an extended visit and entertained Queen Victoria at the hotel. In its first edition of 1878, Baedekers London listed Claridges as The first hotel in London. (Wikipedia)
