An old wood burning stove with snake plants beside it. A lovely retro picture of a vintage wood stove. Snake plants are also known as viper's bowstring hemp, St. George's sword and mother in laws tongue. When I first came to live in Italy I had a wood burning stove just like this one in the kitchen and it gave off a great deal of heat. You could remove the top and actually cook on it. Unfortunately, the mesh and seals on it went (as they have on the one in the picture) and it made more sense to buy something more modern and more environmentally friendly. Great piece of history though!
