This original Art Nouveau style enameled cast iron stove is a German work of the company Musgrave & Co dating from the beginning of the 20th century.
Product of the industrial revolution, Musgrave & Co. was an Irish company making stoves located in Belfast. Founded in the mid 1840’s as a hardware merchant, it quickly develops a patent on the stove with slow combustion adapted to barns. In 1899, the brand was became widely known and a second factory was built in Mannheim, in Germany, with added exhibition rooms in Paris and Frankfort. Not only has settled and furnished the heat system for the Impress Frederic of Germany’s stables, but also for the King of Spain, and many British lords. The decoration of our stove pays tribute to the Palatinate region as indicates the inscription “Fröhlich Pfalz Gott erhalt’s” literally meaning Happy Palatinate God saves it, through representation of emblematic monuments of the region. Also, it is the biggest Roman cathedral of the world. On the right side, is depicted the Godesburg castle, built in the 13th century on a volcanic hill and partially destroyed after the 1583 siege in the beginning of the Cologne War. Finally, we can see on the left side the Tower of Andernach, defensive tower built between 1440 and 1453.
The back of our stove is adorned with a bronze slab depicting in relief two dwarves and a beetle climbing a vine branch.
The scenes on each sides are framed by a rib window from where are escaping on the top dancing lilies of the valley characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. This Art Nouveau decoration deploys on the whole rest of the stove.
