All original parts are re-used where possible to keep the authenticity of the stoves. Some re-fabrication is required where corrosion makes reuse impossible. Most stoves come to us as corroded wrecks so a lot of work can be involved in the resurrection process. On most of the older French enamel stoves there can be some slight crazing and pitting but this is part of the stoves history and again adds to its originality. These burners have been built to use, have been used and can be used again. As well as being a piece of history they can be a useful asset to your home.
Plenty of stoves are ready for renovation. Some for sale "as is". Check out the "Stoves in Progress" link...

Coste - Poker
A pretty little "skyscraper" wood burning stove with a heat chamber built in to the top of the firebox in a rich blue enamel.
It is from the immediate post war period, when the French manufacturers started making what we now call the minimalist/modernist look. This stove was way ahead of its time.....the upper heat chamber uses a technology to distribute the flu gases that is widely used in some of todays modern wood burning stoves.
Wood is loaded through the door on the right and can take logs of up to 15".
The firebox has been removed from the case, cleaned up and inspected. A new coat of HotSpot stove paint has been applied and replacement firebricks cut and installed. There is some buckling to the firebox but this does not affect the stove operation. Some marks are evident on the enamel.
The dimensions are:
56cms (22”)H x 50cms (19½”) W x 30cms (11¾”) D and the flue size is 11cms (3½”) and it is 37cms (14½") from the floor.
£295.
