A fine English mechanical fire bellows of brass and mahogany from the Georgian era, used for blowing air on a fire - the flames in fireplaces were fanned by turning the hand crank to generate airflow through the nozzle or to stoke the burning of coal or peat in a stove made for cooking, or for heating a dwelling.
Featuring two wavy spoke wheels and studded bellow chamber of brass set upon a paddle-shaped body of patinated mahogany.
The wheels are connected to a rope-driven fan belt that spins a fan set within the otherwise hollow curved rounded bellows to expel air out of a rectangular opening in the front.
H 7.25 inch x W 6.5 inch x D 20 inch
