Saffron Walden – Antique French Thermocet Wood-Burning Fireplace

Posted By paddy

 

This weeks blog is a total one off and a real rarity, I can say with all honesty I have not seen an example of this weeks appliance before, except perhaps on the internet. This is an example of an antique French Thermocet Wood-Burning Fireplace. I’m guessing that it was manufactured at some stage in the early part of the last century, or perhaps even earlier and although I swept it in a Victorian/Edwardian age house on Saffron Walden I should think that it is not an original feature, but a reclaimed fireplace from elsewhere. An internet search certainly reveals numerous examples of similar French Stoves and Fireplaces for sale, there are even companies that deal specifically with antique French appliances. Clearly this example is highly unusual and very ornante, but I can’t quite make up my mind whether it is ugly or beautiful, it is certainly a talking point, a real conversation starter!

Anyone who is interested, take a look at:
