RARE antique copper heater from Rippingille's

We believe this is a genuine and extremely rare antique heater from the historic Birmingham-based manufacturer Rippingille's (which was later acquired by The Albion Lamp Company). A beautifully constructed item from copper metal, it's solid and well made, with some lovely details around the handle and lid. The copper colour also makes for a very striking effect, and it would look fantastic as an ornamental piece.
