    I’ve looked everywhere I can think of and the only reference I can find is on Worthpoint. I’d appreciate a bit of information on this make.

    Seems it was made by John Harper. More later.

    I can see an 1892 Lily stove on Worthpoint. There is also photos of another Lily stove, very ornate, blue in colour, upright unit made by Deville Charleville.

    This is the heater in question, a ‘Lily’ oil stove by John Harper. It does have some issues but what a wee gem. I’ve posted pic on CCS too as it may interest the stovies there. 9346823E-AE2B-4A8F-8530-C6DA49F689D2.jpeg

    I do have them Wim, one was in place the other is slightly damaged but I think it could be straightened. All glass/mica gone and one of the arched windows missing. Anyone got one??

    Nor me Tim, it does indeed look like a wee house from a fairy tale! I believe it would have been all white originally, the seller said that she had bought it like that, so who knows?

    @Jean J , for the missing window: look for somebody who can cast tin figures as for a hobby. Most of them also can make a duplicate of a existing model/window.
