Heating face
This is the central heating boiler of Beaumesnil castle. It's an Ideal Titan Serie 3, which was on the market in 1939 (I know that because I saw a catalogue). I don't know exactly when it was installed. But it must have been around that time. It was installed by the company Valentin & Fils & Barousse when they had their office in Paris 17e arrondissement 30, Rue des Épinettes. From 1965 to 2004 an enterprise Valentin (fils?) and Barousse existed in Aubervilliers (northeast of Paris). So, back to the installation time. There is a badge with the company's name and their telephone number on the wall. The telephone number indicated, that the badge was made after 1912. We had a bit of a discussion about if it was made between 1912 and 1926 or 1912 and 1963. Maybe the Ideal Titan series 3 was brand-new in 1926? As far as the owners of the castle go: the de Maistre lived there from 1851 to 1927, Audrey Emery 1927-1937, Dimitri Pavlovitch Romanov 1937–1939 and the Fürstenbergs bought the castle in 1939. Any of them could have bought the boiler, but I guess it was the Fürstenbergs.
