| Description |
"La Salamandre" T.A.M. 2 model French wood-burning stove
by E Chaboche of Paris, from the Art Deco period,
manufactured sometime between 1925 and 1933 The colour is
that lovely natural bottle green colour and would enhance
any period drawing room, dining room or even the modern
minimalist room.
It also has a fantastic feature: it's on roulettes
(wheels) and has a porcelain handle on the top so it
can be moved from room to room even when lit.
The stove has a salamander motif in the casting on the top
of the door which really adds to its beauty & charm.
It's in very good condition, the firebox, grate and
riddler are all in full functioning order. There are one
or two small chips to the enamel, which is to be expected
for a piece that is over 70 years old. It is designed to
burn a combination of wood, wood/coal or just coal.
Please note: the mica has been completely
replaced.
This is a quality stove from a quality manufacturer and
the engineering stands the test of time - it is both a
beautiful, living piece of furniture and at the same time,
a functional heating element for your home.
If you’re looking for a period or minimalist look, here it
is. So go on be the envy of your friends, change your life
and bid on this rare piece of French architectural
history, and who knows, you may be successful!
