La Cornue’s 1908 range harkens the year the vaulted oven was born but gleans its value from a century on the market. Five high-performance burners—including one at 17,500 BTU—plus an electric salamander-style broiler that holds a steady temperature rather than cycling on and off join the traditional vaulted gas oven on the 36-inch frame. The 1908 is available in gloss or matte black, stainless steel, provence or navy blue, and two shades of white. La Cornue. 800.457.1356.
