I have been really busy these last few months with restoration work. Completed recently: a Deville Monopole 114; a Rosieres 306; 3 Deville le non pareil; a Mirus poele de chambre; a Pied Selle Le Noel; a Sougland Silvex (just listed); a cute compact Art Deco stove;
I am just about to start a customer restoration of a Deville le non pareil and 2 more besides.

We have just secured the purchase of a rare find.... a multi-fuel stove in the skyscraper Art Deco design by the Ciney foundry in Belgium that is between 60 and 70 years old that is still in its original wrapping!
Watch this space for further updates.

Spare Parts for the Deville "le non pareil"

We are now offering a newly cast firebox top for the beautiful Deville "le non pareil". In our experience, this is the part that always seems to be cracked so we've now arranged for it to be molded and recast. Now we offer a complete renovation service for your le non pareil with a replacement firebox and firebox top. We also hold a complete spare part list for this stove. See the website for more info & prices.

Still more restoration!

Well the Deville Monopole is now finished and is in the UK ready for sale. See the website for lots of pix
I'm waiting for the door to come back from the finishers for the Deville le non pareil, but apart from that its ready for its new owner in Aberdeen.
On my way to the UK I collected a couple of stoves: the first is a nice french blue Mirus "Poele de Chambre" that needs a new firebox and mica replacing,. the sjhame is that the enamel on the fire door has some heat damage; the second is an imposing La Salamandre TAM 2 by E Chaboche which is a stunning minimalist multifuel stove. Its ready for sale and has pix already uploaded on the website. The third is a gift for my Sister & Brother-in-law. It's a Petit Godin from the 1970's that was never installed so although the paintwork is a bit shabby, the enamel & firebox are spanking new!

The Deville Monopole is all but finished now... I've re-made the air control, fitted the mica to the door again watch the website for pix.
I fitted the new firebrick to the Deville le non pareil, re tapped all the threads ready to refit the top & given her good clean. All that remains is to send the door for re-finishing and fit new Mica and another one bites the dust!
