La Cornue Ranges

As a followup to the Aga ranges, I thought it might be fun to check out the La Cornue ranges from France......especially the colors.  After looking at the Agas, I had concluded that the cream stove would be my first choice, but with the La Cornues and all the brass trim, I think I might choose the green, even though black seems to be the favorite...........it's gorgeous, but black is just not me......I love brighter, more cheerful, colors.

What about you?  

It's fun to dream once in a while!!

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal (below), the La Cornue range is "the Bentley' of kitchen appliances.

La Cornue, a French company founded in 1908, is "the Bentley" of kitchen appliances, says Palm Beach designer Jack Fhillips. Each of La Cornue's cast-iron Château Series ranges are hand-made to order in a factory outside Paris, according to Anne Puricelli of La Cornue distributor Purcell Murray Company.

The brand's signature is the vaulted shape of its oven, but La Cornue also is beloved for its design and many options for customization, Mr. Quinn says. Buyers can choose from 30 colors, such as "Lafayette blue," and "almond green," and 12 different trims, including chrome, brass and copper. Buyers also can create a custom color, such as the orange shown here, Ms. Puricelli says.
Price: Starts at $46,000 (Grand Palais 180) (which would be $65,414 CAD as of today, January 14, 2016).
