Topic: piano insulators

[Anne Tique]

Just for show,  and sorry for changing the subject, some images of the stained glass windows and door, they go all the way to the ceiling at 12 Ft and cover one side of the hall... it dates from around 1900 and it's every time a challenge to clean them. Both radiators in the hall have a  narrow windows above them (pic 1&4) and the fan-shaped window is above the door (pic 3).

To the best of my knowledge, I don't recall seeing any on the GMB of which it could be said categorically they definitely weren't made in the U.K.

These were definitely not made in the United Kingdoms.
The one on the left is - t.t.b.o.m.k. - made by VMC in Reims; the one on the right has "Déposé" embossed to underline its unenglishness.

thanks to Anne for taking the time and trouble to post pix of her radiator supports and stained glass windows - which I would like to buy please   -  they look a lot better than the insulators Anne, and am sure most folk would love them.

thanks to Ivo for posting the unenglish insulators - very useful to have pix of those for the GMB archive since those that are posted here, usually, don't have Continental provenance. 
I don't necessarily know that we are the 'United Kingdoms'  -  the Scots want to leave their partnership with England and remain in the E.U. - the Welsh have slogans aimed at the English and worded along the lines of.... ..  "buy a holiday home (in Wales) and come home to a real fire   ....   the Cornish folk wish apparently to be a country of their own   ....   and Ireland remains as contentious as ever.

There are still two kingdoms in the U.K., really.

I love seeing stained glass still in place. I suspect the radiator feet are furniture casters rather than piano insulators from their shallow rims, as is Ivo's blue one. PC has clear triangular ones under a vintage gas stove she has (now known as a storage cupboard and plant stand)

Thought I'd add mine to the mix, it says...K.H Thomas, Inventor Kidsgrove, all four are a bit rough
