multi-fuel stove

This is a stove in the Art Deco style from the 1930's manufactured in the Fonderies et Forges of Maine called the Caloria N^o 1. This stove is typical of the Art Deco movement and looks like a mini "Empire State Building"! The colour is a rich high gloss French blue enamel. It is in superb condition and the enamel is like new. It burns wood, coal or coke making it a very versatile stove.

Fuel is loaded from the top. Simply lift the enamel lid and then the second lid to the firebox and pop in the wood or coal . The construction is of heavy cast iron, and it is quite a lump. It is in full functioning order and the firebox, grate and riddler are all in excellent condition. It does have a couple of chips to the enamel visible on the top cover, this is due to bad storage rather than over-use as this stove has all the signs of minimal use throughout its life, and even has the original fire resistant paint on the back.

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

The dimensions are:

63cms H (24¾”) x 35cms W (13¾”)  x 32cms D (12½”)  and the flue size is 9.7cms (3¾”) 42cms (16½”) from the floor
