DESIGN


It is  a very distinctively ART NOUVEAU design that  puts the model's age firmly around 1895-1925 
In terms of efficiency this stove was above average for the era
  • an ecofan or a fan within the chimney to redistribute heat could be added to further increase the efficiency
  • the hot air is retained within the stove by diversion around the oven, which helps efficiency because it keeps the smoke inside the hot box burning away fumes and particles for longer
  • the cast enamel box extends all the way around the back making this stove suitable for a central position or to sit out into a room gaining more heat.
*The efficiency of all antique stoves are not tested as they left the market decades before the introduction of modern standards. 
RENOVATION         I have
  • Rubbed down and painted all the exterior cast-iron shell using 900°c stove enamel paint or stove blacking where appropriate
  • Rubbed down and repainted all cast iron or steel parts
  • Cleaned and polished the enamel.
  • Lit the stove to check for leaks and seal the enamel paint used

CONDITION

There are no significant chips to the enamel 
no missing or broken parts

This model is still in excellent working condition  in very good overall condition and is very suitable for use as a stove. It will give decades of useful service

HISTORY

Audemar Guyon were based in Dolé in the Jura mountains. They started the foundry before the Art Nouveau period of 1880-1920

Their catalogues have some very detailed and interesting technical drawings which illustrate how closely 19th century and early 20th century stove technical design is still in use today
