This is a superb stove coming from the middle of the Art
Deco movement in about 1930's (we have referenced this
stove in our 1933 catalogue which is in simply fantastic
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 right hand door, or coal can
be loaded from the top hatch found under the lid.
The 307 has the benefit of a complete refurbishment and
service. The enamel work is in superb condition there is
not even 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 MIXT
(muti fuel) by the manufacturers. In
almost pristine 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
It is around 80-90 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.
