DESIGN


  • There is a nice sized emptying tray under the grate behind the lower door. 
  • Air flow is controlled by the silver bottom knob and by the lever on the side which operates the flue damper exit. 
  • It has a lever to operate the circular grate which shakes the ash into the pan. 
All these work perfectly.

This stove is a very handsome and sturdy piece of industrial design by one of the most famous French stove foundries. 

In terms of efficiency this stove top of it's class for the era and STILL compares favorably with modern stoves of similar size.
  •  it has a turn screw air inlet and a damper to reduce the air flow out and encourage secondary burning of more smoke within the firebox once the stove is hot. 
  • It is lined with firebricks which also store the heat. 
  • The double walled construction with open latticed designs, allows hot air to flow up through the two layers and circulate through the room faster, acting as a natural fan system. 
The efficiency of this model was not tested as it left the market decades before the introduction of such standards.
