Kettle & Spirit Lamp . When the kitchen can be a long cold walk away, a kettle and spirit lamp that are suitably refined for the sitting room giving a handy supply of hot water for the teapot, would be very welcome for afternoons "at home". The ebony handle swings clear of the lid for filling, the kettle lifts off the lamp stand giving access to the lamp which itself lifts out. The lid coming off for filling with spirit which is drawn up the wick and lit to provide the heat. The butler can carry the whole using the two jointed handles, the table surface protected by ebony feet beneath the scrolled legs.
