The study of fireplaces throughout the centuries shows an evolution that is always closely linked to all major artistic movements (architectural and sculptural). This assumption is very revealing of the importance of the fireplace in the domestic space.
The fireplace was the heart of the traditional life : kitchen hearth, smoking room to store food, heating ... The evenings around the fireplace were moments of conviviality that allowed the exchange of news and evoking tales, during which women used to do needlework.
