We have Masco Salvage and The Vintage Floor Tile Company at this site and a good range of original cast iron radiators to view, polished, painted and ornate.

What kind of radiator will you be looking for?

Many of us will be trying to finish our renovations before christmas and move into our houses ready for the festive season. If you’re looking to be warm and cosy this winter you may be looking for an original cast iron radiator or an old fireplace to enhance and finish your house.  One beautiful radiator that anyone would be proud to have in their house is a Beeston decorated radiator.

The Beeston radiator was made by The Beeston Boiler company Ltd, formally known as Foster & Pearson. Foster & Pearson began in 1841 and were the makers and suppliers of horticultural buildings. They had a list of famous clientele amongst whom was Queen Victoria. Over time, as the company evolved, they began producing boilers initially for use in their own buildings. The Beeston Boiler Company Ltd. was established in 1893 and the company soon started supplying a range of radiators cast at their foundry in Nottingham for the domestic market.

‘The Beeston Decorated’ radiator is shown in a 1921 catalogue, but we are unsure as to when this beautiful ornate radiator made its first appearance.  Bet it caused a stir when it did! This ornate cast iron radiator carries the inscription ‘The Beeston’ followed by what appears to be a Patent number or Rd number ’280475′.   ‘The Beeston’ radiator was withdrawn from manufacture in the late 1920′s.

We currently have in stock a number of ornate Beeston radiators which have been sourced from a large house in Kensington.  They are truly beautiful radiators and are available in various sizes. We have both the three column and two column styles available.   The Beeston can be supplied in either the polished or a painted finish.   If you would like view one or need any further help or information please call 01285 760886 or email us at info@mascowalcot.com
