Located in the collection of the Met's period rooms is a fantastic white glazed and gilded baroque wood stove. 
While this may not be a traditional 'hearth and home' piece, these wood stoves were considered much safer than fireplaces and were widely used in northern Europe and most sat on stone hearths. I could see something like this used as contrast in a very modern loft or house- useful AND art!
