A wonderfully atmospheric antique tabletop gramophone with striking original green horn and dark stained oak case, dating to the Edwardian period. A superb decorative piece with strong dark academia and old-world music room aesthetic appeal.

The gramophone features a beautifully shaped flared metal horn with aged green finish, mounted on an ornate cast support above the compact oak case. The simple columned case design and hand-crank mechanism give it a wonderfully sculptural presence, making it an excellent display piece for interiors, film set styling, cafés, bars or collectors of early sound equipment.

This example is being sold as non-working and for decorative display or restoration. The mechanism does not currently function correctly and the turntable does not operate as intended. Surface wear, oxidation, marks and age-related patina throughout consistent with age and use. Please study photographs carefully for condition.

An excellent decorative antique with strong steampunk, industrial and cabinet of curiosities appeal.
