Mobile cast iron stove model "la chatte" designed by the French engineer Edmond Chaboche in 1883

Cast iron portable stove model "la chatte" designed by the french engineer edmond chaboche in 1883. The term "salamander" is a trade name that was adopted and generalized to designate these wood or coal stoves, often small in size, intended for use in spaces such as kitchens or living rooms. This type of stove was designed to efficiently heat small rooms, and the models produced by chaboche became popular for their portability and efficiency. Thus, even if "salamander" is associated with the chaboche brand, today it designates a very specific type of stove, and this name has become generic for many similar appliances produced by other manufacturers.
