We are Tom and Amanda Humphreys and we have been running Stove Hunters since 2012 after we came back from living in France for 6 years in the Loire region. We saw a gap in the market when we couldn't help notice that there did not seem to be any other UK based businesses selling these lovely stoves run in a professional manner.

Hailing originally from Shropshire, on the Welsh border, where we had owned Smithy Reclamation. We were not exactly unfamiliar with these gorgeous French Stoves as we would occasionally go over to France on buying trips all those years ago. Then when we moved to France we would buy them and sell them to fund our occasional trips back to the UK and the idea just grew from there to what it is today.

For 10 years we were based in Burbage in a refurbished showroom in an old grain store. We have now moved nearer to our home to a beautiful restored Old Granary within sight of the Devizes White Horse. We are one of the very few showrooms in the UK dedicated to the wonderful, colourful world of antique French stoves. Plenty of parking and 1000 sq ft of showroom for you to peruse and choose which antique stove would put the finishing touches to your home. We also have disabled access with a wheelchair accessible lift to the upstairs showroom..

Our workshop is also on site so you can have a chat with Tom about any concerns you may have and if you are lucky, you will be able to actually see one of our lovely stoves being restored. Unfortunately, we do not have time to restore stoves belonging to other people.

We normally have between 20 and 40 restored French stoves on display from which to choose; something for everyone; from the over the top, sumptuous Salamandres which must have looked absolutely fabulous in beautiful Parisian appartments to the more sparten art deco stoves; all shapes, sizes and colours. They are all converted to burn Bio Ethanol so no chimney or flue is required and no fossil fuels are used and no particulates emitted either so great for the environment.

We regularly send our French Antique stoves all over the world so wherever you are, you can have one of our stoves. They are put on a pallet and sent either by land, sea or air depending on where you are. Just email or phone for a quotation.

Have a good look through our website and you will see Bio Ethanol Stoves for sale and also vintage stoves which are now sold. We do not show these to frustrate, rather to inspire and if you see something you like which is sold, let us know and we can see if we can find another one on a buying trip. These cast iron stoves generally are not one offs but some are much harder to find than others so please ask.

We hope to welcome you to our showroom in the future should you decide to buy one of our stoves which will really make a statement in any home. We always have the coffee pot at the ready if you need a bit of time and refreshment to make your decision. As our tagline says, we are for people who want the extraordinary, not the ordinary. Hope to see you soon
