About the Artist
J.S. Stidham is credited on this 1889 patent sheet as the designer of a practical coffee pot invention, presented in the formal visual language of late nineteenth-century industrial documentation. While little biographical information is available, this work exemplifies how inventors and draftsmen used precise drawing to protect ideas and communicate function.
As a vintage patent print, it bridges engineering clarity and decorative appeal, particularly for those interested in scientific illustration prints and the design of everyday objects.
The Artwork
This coffee pot patent drawing was created as an official document to explain the invention clearly for examination and legal record. In the nineteenth century, patent illustrations served as a universal language, translating new mechanisms into images that could be reviewed, archived, and reproduced by patent offices and manufacturers.
The choice of a household object reflects an era of rapid domestic innovation, when improvements in brewing and kitchenware were seen as meaningful progress. Today, this piece brings a sense of inventive history and daily ritual into contemporary interiors.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features multiple numbered diagrams, each showing the coffee pot from different perspectives and in sectional views. Fine black linework, technical labels, and careful spacing create a methodical rhythm across the page, transforming technical information into graphic art.
Set against a warm beige background, the palette is classic black and parchment, lending the work an archival and quietly nostalgic feel. The overall mood is precise and contemplative, inviting close inspection and appreciation for functional design.
In Interior Design
This patent print is well-suited for kitchen walls, coffee nooks, dining areas, or a home office where both objects and ideas are valued. It pairs seamlessly with light wood, matte black hardware, stainless steel, and warm neutrals, and complements both modern minimal and industrial interiors.
For a cohesive gallery wall, combine it with culinary-themed pieces from the kitchen wall art collection, or highlight its drafting style alongside black and white prints for a curated, graphic look.
