We have this old gas heater that we acquired with the house.

I'm going to give it a freshen up from 'old lady cream' to something traditional looking I think

Black and gold are in my head, but i'm not sure on the gold.... too much maybe

Anyone an ideas what it would have been like originally? I think its 1930's, and it does look to have been black before.

I was thing black for the whole body with the design on the front lower door in gold, and the name stamps (parkinson stove co) on the leg bottoms.

suggestions :/

Why not strip the paint off, get it back to bare metal and see what it looks like?

How about all black, the sun polished (if possible) and the bits behind the sun (peachy colour) do them black?

Look at his first post...it's exactly what he was thinking

Terracotta wouldn't really go with anything in the flat
Kitchen is black, so looks good in there
