Where are La Cornue ranges made?

Every Château range is individually handcrafted to order in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, France, just outside Paris. CornuFé ranges are manufactured in England, then finished and inspected at the La Cornue factory in France before being shipped to their final destination.

What is the difference between the Château and CornuFé Series?

The Château Series is La Cornue’s fully customizable collection, offering an extensive selection of sizes, enamel colors, metal trims, cooking configurations, and specialized cooking options. 

The CornuFé Series brings the distinctive appearance and performance of La Cornue to a more streamlined collection of curated sizes, colors, trims, and cooking configurations.

How long does it take to receive a La Cornue range?

Lead times vary by series, model, finish, and degree of customization. Because Château ranges are individually handcrafted to order, they generally require a longer production period. We will provide the current estimated lead time when preparing your quotation.

Can I customize my La Cornue range?

Yes. Château ranges offer an extraordinary degree of customization, including enamel colors, metal trims, fuel types, oven configurations, and cooktop options such as induction, teppanyaki, and lava-rock grills. 

CornuFé ranges are available in a curated selection of established sizes, colors, trim finishes, and cooking configurations.

Can I choose any color?

The Château Series is available in an extensive palette of enamel colors, with custom colors potentially available upon request. CornuFé ranges are offered in a curated collection of standard colors.

What trim finishes are available?

Available trim finishes vary by series and model. Château ranges offer a broad selection of metal finishes, while CornuFé ranges are available with a more focused collection of trim options.

We can help coordinate the finish of your range with the kitchen’s cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and surrounding hardware.

Are La Cornue ranges gas or electric?

La Cornue offers gas, electric, and induction configurations, depending on the series and model selected. Oven and cooktop options vary, allowing many Château ranges to be tailored to the client’s preferred cooking methods and available utilities.

What is the vaulted oven?

The vaulted oven is one of La Cornue’s defining features. Its gently curved ceiling encourages natural heat circulation around the food, promoting even cooking while helping preserve moisture and enhance flavor.

What sizes are available?

La Cornue offers ranges in a variety of sizes, from more compact CornuFé models to expansive Château configurations. The appropriate size will depend on the kitchen’s dimensions, cooking requirements, available utilities, ventilation, and desired visual impact.

Can you help me select the right model?

Yes. Selecting a La Cornue involves much more than choosing a size or color. We guide clients through the available series, models, cooking configurations, fuel types, ovens, colors, trims, accessories, ventilation requirements, and installation considerations.

Can I see a La Cornue range before purchasing?

Yes. Our showroom, located in the historic Roosevelt Library in San Antonio, features a working Château 180. Clients can experience the craftsmanship, finishes, proportions, and performance of a La Cornue range firsthand. Private consultations are available by appointment.

Can I cook on a La Cornue before purchasing?

Yes. Qualified clients may schedule a private cooking demonstration using our working Château 180. This provides an opportunity to experience the cooking surfaces and vaulted ovens while discussing the models and configurations best suited to your home.

Do you work with architects, interior designers, builders, and kitchen designers?

Yes. We regularly assist architects, interior designers, builders, kitchen designers, and other trade professionals with model selection, technical specifications, finish coordination, quotations, delivery planning, and installation requirements.

Can you provide specifications for my design team?

Yes. We can provide the model numbers, dimensions, utility requirements, ventilation information, installation specifications, and other product details needed by your architect, designer, contractor, or installer.

Do you offer installation?

Stone Standard does not perform installations directly; however, we work with reputable, experienced installers and can coordinate a turnkey solution encompassing product selection, delivery, professional installation, and final commissioning.

Can you coordinate delivery?

Yes. We can assist with delivery planning and coordinate with the appropriate receiving party, contractor, installer, or project representative. Delivery requirements will depend on the range selected, the project location, and site accessibility.

Do you ship throughout the United States?

Yes. We work with clients and design professionals throughout the United States and can coordinate delivery to the project location.

Does a La Cornue range require special ventilation?

Proper ventilation is essential and must be planned according to the range size, cooking configuration, local building requirements, and kitchen design. We can help your design team identify the relevant specifications, but the final ventilation system should be designed and approved by qualified project professionals.

Does a La Cornue range require special utilities?

Utility requirements vary by model and configuration. Depending on the range selected, installation may require gas, electricity, or both. Your contractor and installer should review the specifications early in the design process to confirm that the appropriate utilities are available.

Can La Cornue cabinetry be purchased with the range?

Yes. La Cornue offers coordinating cabinetry, islands, hoods, and other architectural kitchen elements designed to complement its ranges. These pieces may be configured as part of a complete La Cornue kitchen or incorporated selectively into a larger kitchen design.

Can I purchase a La Cornue range without purchasing the cabinetry?

Yes. A La Cornue range may be incorporated into cabinetry created by your kitchen designer or cabinetmaker. We will provide the necessary specifications so the surrounding cabinetry can be designed appropriately.

Are La Cornue ranges available for immediate delivery?

Availability depends on the series, model, color, trim, and current inventory. Certain CornuFé models may be available sooner than made-to-order Château ranges. We will confirm current availability when preparing your quotation.

How much does a La Cornue range cost?

Pricing depends on the series, model, size, cooking configuration, color, trim, and accessories selected. Because Château ranges are individually configured, a detailed quotation is prepared after the desired specifications have been determined.

How do I request pricing?

Complete our Request Information form and select the series and models that interest you. We will contact you to discuss your cooking preferences, project requirements, colors, trims, and installation needs before preparing a detailed quotation.
