About the Item

Art Deco Philco Radio Bar is one of the most highly sought-after pieces by radio and bar enthusiasts. Created initially during the Prohibition Era – a time of fascination with hidden and secret liquor bars, it reached a high point with its 1936 design. All the pieces (glassware in many sizes, decanters, cocktail shakers, and accessories) fill this radio bar we are very proud to offer. Radio Bar of America, made in Los Angeles California USA. There were many versions made, this is known as model #536 from about 1936. We have now taken it to the next level, completely restored inside and out so it is like new but about 90 years old. It was only adding Bluetooth or input so you can use it today with smartphones and all the latest technology. his radio chassis has been tested, restored, and fitted with a 1/8 inch adapter which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smartphone, iPod, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or tune into Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes, and use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. The quality of the sound is excellent – just ask any guitarist since these kinds of tube-based amps are still being made and used today. You will have the best of “digital” and “analog” combined. A Radio Bar was the equivalent of a high-end entertainment center today. Thoroughly popular and not the least bit inexpensive! To put it in perspective… a Philco Radio Bar was priced at $89 – $795, and an average salary was $1748 in 1936. An average home was $3600 and a Studebaker car was $665. So this was the height of fashion and indulgence.

Altamira: Italian Furniture Glassware Lamps Accessories

By Altamira, Gio Ponti

Located in New York, NY
