This is a superb stove new in
1935 for Rosieres 1935 , and coming from the middle of the
Art Deco movement (we have referenced this stove in our
1935 catalogue) which is in excellent condition.
This stove is a compact hybrid stove that can burn either
wood or coal (and all its derivatives) or a combination of
both. Fuel is loaded from the front door, or coal can be
loaded from the top hatch found under the lid.
The 311 has the benefit of a complete nut & bolt,
"bodyoff" restoration. The enamel work is in excellent
condition with just the usual wear which is to be expected
on any piece like this stove that is of a certain age, and
that has been used to give heat and warmth to its previous
owner.
It was made by the well known manufacturer Rosieres in the
Berry from the 1930's, and can
be found in their 1933 catalogue. This is medium compact
but very heavy stove, and is called a 'poele Flamor
by the manufacturers. In excellent
condition, and with the quality of casting and enamelling
associated with Rosieres. The stove epitomises the best in
Art Deco style and design. This stove is a working
stove, and as such it may have one or two small chips to
the enamel, but I can't find any!
Please note that the mica windows have been renewed
The 311 is certainly coming up to 80
years old and the condition is superior to a usual stove
of its age. All working parts are in excellent condition,
just connect the flue, light the match and away you go!
This is a beautiful, unusual stove and these photos do not
really do it justice. The price when new, in 1930, was 290
old French francs.
Height 51cms (20¼”)
Width 52cms (20½”)
Depth26.5cms (10½ ”)
The flue size is 9.7cms (3¾”)
It can heat a room of 80m3 ~ 100m3
