Notes:
When Queen Victoria had Nautilus fire grates installed at Balmoral Castle and Osborne House, demand for them grew substantially. The design by the Petter family firm was based on the internal shape of the Nautilus shell by means of which the fumes and smoke circulated in a chamber before being drawn out through the flue at the rear.
In 1882 James Petter showed his Nautilus grate at the "Manchester Smoke Abatement Exhibition" Queen Victoria visited the exhibition and installed the grates to the royal homes soon after.
