London, England C. 1884 a Boyd's Patent Campaign Cooker Food Warmer, also known as The Universal Heater. This unit is larger than others, having four openings for warmers. It has a removable top with a scalloped edge, is silverplate and has interlocking monogram engraved on the top (the initials are LW/WL with a crown symbol). The stand bottom is marked, "BOYD'S PATENT" and has six turned wooden bun feet. The underside also has a plaque reading "THE HOUSEHOLD SUPPLY AND ATMOSPHERIC CHURN COMP'Y LTD, 119 NEW BOND ST, W".
This is a very attractive and decorative item that could be used for a variety of purposes including food warming and display, a unique charcuterie board, for floral display and so on.
I have seen copper versions that comprised a cooker/warmer , two spirit burners with snuffer caps and a cast iron grill for a kettle, skillet, pan or pot. When the top hot plate was removed it turned the warmer into a spirit campaign cooker. The top plate could then replaced to keep the food warm. Some such warmers were used outdoors for shooting, camping or picnic parties on British country estates.
