One more reason why I love my job! One of the agents in my office gave us a preview of a house she is listing in Tremont. To our delight we were greeted by the bread warmer pictured here when we entered the kitchen. I had never seen one nor heard of one on a radiator before! I bought some delicious pugliese bread from the WSM today and can only imagine how wonderful the kitchen would smell as that bread (my favorite) warmed in that glorious contraption! It has enough shelves to hold Super Bowl pizzas too, yes? Have any of you seen or heard of these before? Way cool. I couldn’t resist taking the photo. Peace Out - 3C

Now I have been in many historic homes and I have never seen one of these contraptions. Nifty idea, unfortunately I would probably forget the bread in there and be removing it in the morning - petrified, lol…………

Wow, how cool is that?!!? We have all kinds of historic and antique homes here, many with elaborate decorative radiators, but I have to say I have never seen or heard of a bread warmer radiator. How interesting, and oh I bet that bread would smell so yummy in there………

I have been in hundreds of antique homes and antique shops and I have never seen one of these. I wonder how much it’s worth.

Laurie, Ann, Jay, Moni and Ines: I wonder if it was a custom item? It really is nifty! Laurie, I could just as easily forget something in the oven so that wouldn’t matter lol. Jay I bet it’s worth a lot…and certainly gives that home something unique to it’s character. Ines it’s probably healthier than some of the pizza ovens out there!

My grandmother had an ‘interesting’ cupboard called a pie cupboard, but I’ve never seen anything like this. And my family - me included - made a lot of homemade bread. Can’t you just imagine how GOOD that smelled!

Smelling it vicariously now Elaine! I know the pie cupboards, I’ve seen one or two in antique shops…this was totally new to me.

This New Englander (read lots of old houses) has never seen anything like that. Very cool!

Linda, I’m starting to think this is a custom item. Thought for sure SOMEONE else would have seen one!

I’ve not seen one either, Carole, and I haunt the salvage yards and antique shops.

I just bought a home in MA and it has one of these radiator bread warmers just like in the picture on this forum. It has a marble countertop too. It’s great

Hi Mike, how fun to have a bread warmer! I wonder if the marble tops allow you to let bread dough rise on it or if it would be too hot. The modern builders should do something like this it might give them an edge on the market! At least for warming pizza! lol
