Here is an absolutely fantastic true Victorian cast iron parlor stove C. The grates are in perfect condition and will burn either wood or coal. I have one of these stoves and it does throw off a lot of heat with a far better economy than a fireplace. It has mica panes in the sliding doors (very unusual) so you can still see the flames. I have an extra mica pane, and will install new mica in the doors. The upper and lower doors slide open to the sides for access, unusual feature that eliminates sagging hinges. The stove is a Violet No. 5 made by Perry & Co. From Albany, NY and Pat. Many of these stoves were lost to the scrap drives in the ensuing wars once central heating became widely available and these were no longer needed. This is a fully functional stove and not just an ornament. It measures 45″ high, 28″ wide and 25 deep. The breaching pipe is 21-1/4 inches from the floor to the bottom of the pipe. The superb casting is a lost art, made at a time where a stove was aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well as functional. There are no cracks or repairs and judging by the condition, this stove was not used very often. The gray material is a lubricant to make the doors slide more easily, good to 1600 degrees. I went over the stove with Rutland stove flat black to show the full beauty, this can be changed to gloss if preferred, and thanks for looking. Can deliver within 150 miles of 01030.
