Thefootmanis a British term for a metal stand,usually of polished steel or brass, and either oblong or oval in shape, forkeeping plates and dishes hot before a dining room fire. A footman was usefulprior to the early 20th century, before hot water was easily obtained, and whenopen fires were common. Although it is still in occasional use, it is nowchiefly regarded as an ornament or collectable antique.Thederivation of the word is probably linked to the servant, who could also havehad the task of warming the dishes.
