This is a very nice ‘DUX’ closed range that came from a large Victorian villa in Redland, Bristol. It has been fully restored in our workshops and comes with the original cast iron surround it was fitted with. This range has done a life time of work but thanks to our team its ready for another! A full installation service is available, just get in touch using the enquiry form found on our contacts page.
It is a rare moment when we get time out from restoring clients ranges to work on one of our own and offer it for sale. I’ve been wanting to restore this Cornish Range for a long time now and I had that opportunity a few weeks ago. So here it is, a fantastic example of a Cornish Range, heavily ornamented castings and covered in polished brass. This one also comes complete with a bespoke pine surround and drying rail to complete the picture.

We were delighted to return the kitchen range to the kitchen of the fantastic Cogges Manor Farm museum this week. The range was in a terrible state when we first carried out the site survey but now it has been fully restored and will be ready for service for many more years to come.
This range is in weekly use for demonstrations and for school eduction. If you are in the Oxford area please do plan a visit to Cogges, its a truly fantastic place!
The range is a large close fire type called a Swinton and manufactured by Hattersley Bros. Ltd at their Queen’s foundry, Swinton near Rotherham. This particular example was badge engineered as a Mortimer and supplied by Bratt Colbran & Co from their London showrooms on (you guessed it!) Mortimer Street.
We recently acquired this fantastic Crittall Cooker. It dates from the 1930s and is quite unlike any other cooking apparatus common to this country. I believe Richard Crittall & Co were working with a European manufacturers and badge engineering this cookers under there name.
The range boasts two ovens, two hot closets, a coal scuttle and a huge hot plate. It is of enameled steel construction with cast iron top plate and firebox, heavily lined with firebrick and cast and chrome plated mouldings and details. These ranges are exceptionally rare and would make for a stunning feature.
The Crittall Cooker is available as a decorative piece or fully working. We can also install this range for you if required.
We were down in Devon last week to remove this fantastic ‘Herald’ double oven kitchen range. It is going to have the full treatment in our workshops and then will be returned and installed as a fully functional range. We are looking to have the work complete by January so watch this space!
