Made in Britain; The Stoves Born And Bred in The British Isles
Britain; a nation of industrious beginnings that has become a proud land of quality products, each finished with that unique, artistic British stamp that is so undeniable to the discerning eye. There’s a certain suave sureness to British design; innovative and forward thinking when inspiration strikes, yet occasionally reaching backwards with a smug ease to borrow traditional elements from a rich past of imperial decadence and grander designs.
Here at Stove Supermarket we stock stoves from British producers such as AGA, Aarow, Dunsley Heat, Broseley, Charnwood, Carron, Hamlet, Hunter Stoves, Mendip, Parkray, Salamander and Stovax.
The British stove manufacturers that we will be shining a spotlight on in this blog will be: Esse, AGA and Dunsley Heat. Each of these brands is determinedly British; pioneers in their own individual ways, ESSE, purveyors and style and durability, AGA a force of engineering excellence, and Dunsley Heat one of the longest standing producers of stoves in Britain.
Esse Stoves
Esse was established in 1854 with nothing but a mission to create high-quality stoves that would stand the test of time. An infamous brand, Esse has brushed shoulders with some of histories biggest and best: Florence Nightingale herself would have no other brand through the doors of her Balaclava Hospital, and an Esse range cooker stepped into stardom for an appearance in James Bond film a ‘View to a Kill’. An utterly iconic brand, we are proud to stock such a classical British brand. A couple of our favourite Esse offerings are the:
The Esse 700 Vista SE
The largest model in Esses popular Vista range, the DEFRA approved and eco-conscious 700 Vista SE is a multi-fuel stove with powerful capabilities and a 8.5Kw heat output – the perfect option for larger rooms and spaces.
