Art Nouveau

multi-fuel stove

by Audemar & Guyon

of Dole in the Jura

SOLD

This is a stove in the Art Nouveau style from the early 1900's manufactured in the Jura mountains at Dole by Audemar & Guyon.  The colour is a rich high gloss green enamel, and it is decorated with exquisite little tiles throughout. The tiles are diamond in shape and have yellow and white flowers on a blue background. One of the tiles is cracked but this is not a real problem. (visible in the last photo) It burns wood, coal or coke making it a very versatile stove.

Fuel is loaded from the top. Simply lift the enamel lid and voila a hotplate is revealed! Lift the inner lid to the firebox and pop in the wood or coal . The construction is of heavy cast iron, and it is very heavy. It is in full functioning order and the firebox and riddler are all in excellent condition. The bottom grate will need slight attention in the future There are a couple of chips to the enamel, and the top lid has a small crack in it. This is a stove that is more or less 100 years old and the condition is consistent with its age.

 This is a beautiful, unusual stove and these photos do not really do it justice.

The dimensions are:

80cms H (31½”) x 34.5cms W (13½”)  x 35cms D (13¾”)  and the flue size is 9.7cms (3¾”) 53cms (20¾”) from the floor.
