This is truly a stunning Art Nouveau stove by Faure,
called "Sirocco". We've managed to date it to sometime
from the 1910's to the early 1930's.
This particular example was restored for the customer
This is a superb little stove coming from the latter part
of the art nouveau movement,
It benefits from a complete nut & bolt restoration
having a new firebox made from stainless
steel twice as thick, so this stove should last
at least a lifetime. It has a newly cast deflector and a
newly cast flue spigot, a new firebox top and a new mica
retaining plate in stainless steel. The firebricks have also been
replaced and will also last a long time. This stove is
complete with the optional hook on ash pan.
It has been a working stove, It is more or less 70-80
years old and the condition is consistent with the usual
wear which is to be expected of any piece like this stove
that is of a certain age, and that has been used to give
heat and warmth to its previous owners. All working parts
are in excellent condition, just connect the flue, light
the match and away you go!
Please note that the mica viewing windows have been
replaced with a top quality mica which will give years
of service.
