Deville 360 "le non pareil"
It
took my local stove installers several weeks to
finally come and do the pipe work . The installation
is now fully “aux normes” and le non pareil was
ceremoniously lit last night !
It works really well - the air control is like
turning the gas up and down , it’s so responsive .
I closed it down and went out for 3 hours , came
back , opened it up , fed it ,and off it went again
- superb ! better than my brand new Charnwood was
As you can see it looks really beautiful ..... thank
you for reviving such a lovely thing

Deville Lily
bio ethanol
"We
are delighted with the Deville Lily stove that Malc
restored for us. It matches our period interior, and
brings our fireplace back to life.
Malc
was great at answering our detailed questions and
helped us choose the best option for us: a bio-fuel
burner insert, manufactured to order.
Excellent.

Deville Monopole 116 &
Deville Express
Dear Malcolm,
I have previously bought 2 of your wonderful
stoves......I just love them....I hope someday I can
have one in every room. I bought a green Monopole #116
and a green Express by Deville. I just want to say, I
love them and your crating was excellent. And the
business arrangement went perfect.....I know I was a
little hesitant about sending a large sum of money to
another country.......but, as it turns out, everything
went well and you represented the facts (merchandise,
pricing, shipping, etc.) perfectly. And now I am in
the process of buying another. Thank you for being in
business and offering this service to people like me.
Sincerely,
Joette San

Marianna
Dear Malc, Just a brief note to let you know that
Marianna has settled into her home here in
Gloucester and we are very pleased with
her. Despite my doubts about the colour she
looks fine. I'll try and attach a photo
so that you can see her in situ, back in a 1930's
environment. You are most welcome to use the
photo and give my
details for recommendation of a very
satisfied customer.We had a pleasant trip down to Fareham and it was a
pleasure to meet your charming parents.
If you are visiting your family in
the Forest of Dean, please do not hesitate to call
in and see her.

Deville 360 "le non pareil"
Dear
Malc,Voici
deux photos du Non-Pareil bleu que je vous ai
acheté.Je l'ai installé
et Je
l'ai
essayé
pour la premiere fois ce matin. Il

Dear
Malc
Here are two photos of the blue le non pareil that I
bought from you. I have installed it and I tried it
for the first time this morning. It heats very well
but the draw is a little difficult to control. With
friendship,

Deville 360 "le non pareil"
Glad I was able to complete our business before this
fear made it a challenge in how to send money to
Great Britain. I love looking at the
pictures of the stove knowing it's waiting for me in
Idaho until
I get to go back next summer. Best
wishes. And again, thank you so much for
all the time, work and effort you take in finding,
restoring, and finding new homes for these amazing
jewels.

Hi Malc,
We just wanted to confirm that the
Stove has been delivered, and unscathed from the
ordeals of transportation
It looks absolutely fantastic, you
have done a lovely job restoring it
It won't be installed
until March when we do the kitchen, but then the
Deville will be the centerpiece.
I'll send you some pictures in
the spring, Cheers,
and many thanks

Pied Selle Noel
Malcolm, We have arrived
home with our Pied - Selle Brevette --- bottle
green enamel, no problems getting it here to
Welwyn Garden We have placed it on the black
granite hearth slab outside the chimney breast -
it'll work great.
Pass on our thanks to Bob and Bronwyn please - for
their patience, and advice, and to Bob for helping
to lift the stove into the car and tie it down.
Please can you send on the adaptor and flue bend as
discussed by phone on Saturday - I've been told to
have it all installed and operating well before
Christmas. Best Wishes,

Deville 360 "le non pareil"
Hi Malc,
Just to let you know that the stove has arrived
safely and it looks lovely and feels solid! With all
the new parts, it just shows me now how rotten the
stove was which is a bit scary as we were using it
now and again. We finally got the stove put
back together and installed. It’s so nice to have it
back, and working more efficiently I’m sure.
This year, I am looking forward to the winter!
Thank you again for all your work, and giving us a
stove that will keep us warm for many years yet,If
for any reason you are up in this wind swept corner,
you are most welcome to pop in for a heat,
Thank you again and all the best,
