Description
This dish warmer, also called a rechaud is made by Brabantia and features the Batique decor. This is the newer version with the dovers on the front and back instead of on the sides.

A rechaud is an object for keeping dishes with food or a tea or coffee kettle warm. Characteristic of a rechaud is that it is made in such a way that a pan, plate or dish can be placed above a heat source. The heat source is often sufficient to keep dishes warm, rechauds are not suitable for heating up dishes. Rechauds such as this one with candles are most often used for domestic use.

Another form of a chafing dish is a so-called teapot warmer. This is a somewhat smaller chafing dish that is equipped with only one candle, on which a teapot can be put. The teapot warmer owes the commonly used nickname tea light to this method of use.

This Brabantia chafing dish is in a vintage condition with traces of use and age-related traces of wear. Photos are part of description.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst and manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the head office is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Production no longer takes place in the Netherlands.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watering cans and cigar tins.

When it was founded in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name changed to "Van Elderen's Metalware Factories Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and it is only "Brabantia". Brabantia is the Latin word for Brabant (Dutch Province).

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability - designed for living.
