This
is a superb little art nouveau style log burner by the
famous French company Pied Selle . It dates from
sometime in the 1920's. It is in lovely condition, as
you will see from the photos. The enamel is in excellent
condition and is a beautiful emerald green colour.
It's modest size means that it will fit quite well into
any moderately sized fireplace. It's look is mid way
between art nouveau and arts & crafts which is quite
popular, and will enhance any room in your home. When
you lift the enamelled lid there is a hotplate which is
always handy! Wood is loaded through the side door which
makes this stove highly usable.
It benefits from a full "body off" restoration, with a
new stainless steel firebox, new cast iron top plate,
new deflector and new deflector plate fitted. There are
some chips to the enamel, commensurate with age and use.
Please note that the mica windows have been replaced
with top quality Brazilian mica and will give years of
use if looked after.
This is indeed a rare opportunity for art nouveau/arts
& crafts lovers to own a stunning, living breathing,
original piece of furniture, that can heat your home and
keep your food warm at the same time!
