Elegant Philips 730A Tube Radio. Year 1932, In Working Order
An elegant and understated vintage tube radio, manufactured in 1932 by the prestigious Philips brand. This is the 730A model, crafted from mahogany and in perfect working order. The radio follows the Art Deco style characteristic of the 1930s, featuring a simple rectangular shape with a wave-and-star motif on the circular opening for the speaker. This detail lends the radio a unique elegance, and its original period aesthetic is well-suited to 21st-century interiors.
The radio is in good condition. The beauty of the mahogany wood used for the cabinet-which displays its characteristic grain and retains the original varnish-is one of its greatest attractions. The interior of the radio retains the original Philips components, which bear the company's name. Additionally, on the back of the radio there is a metal plate inscribed with "PHILIPS - IMPORTÉ DE HOLLANDE," the model number (730A), and the serial number: RO42908. The radio works well at 220V.
On the sides of the cabinet are two black bakelite knobs used to operate the front dial and select different stations. The radio rests on two rectangular legs lacquered in black, which show some signs of wear that are easy to restore. The beauty of the mahogany wood, the understated design characteristic of the era, and the authenticity of all its parts make this exquisite radio a collector's item, perfect for adding elegance to any living room or other space.
Radio dimensions: 395 mm wide x 490 mm high.
