Turning Technology
The first stoves, sewing machines and radios seemed out of place next to furniture, so manufacturers used cabinetry and decorative features to hide mechanisms. into Furniture
1 Heating Stove 1886 This heating stove's elaborate decoration made it a showpiece, appropriate for the best parlor. Made by the Still Stove Works Rochester, New York Cast iron 33.128.1 Gift of Eva Jean Lampkin 2 RCA Radiola 60 Receiver in Cabinet 1927-1928 The RCA Radiola 60 receiver is carefully concealed in a custom-made case by Anthony Osebold, a European-trained carver of church altars in Detroit. This example is an opulent showcase of his woodworking skills. The cabinet's appeal is twofold: It houses some of the most refined radio technology available at the time, yet its lavish craftsmanship harkens back to earlier historical traditions. Radio made by The Radio Corporation of America Camden, New Jersey Cabinet carved by Anthony Osebold in Detroit, Michigan Mahogany and walnut Gift in memory of ... 3 Predicta Television Receiver 1958-1960 Philco's Predicta televisions, part furniture and part appliance, were a bold celebration of TV technology. Their perched screens recall the prominent speaker horns of early phonographs but also suggest present-day computer monitors. Made by Philco Corporation Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Wood grained plastic laminate 88.252.1 4 Television Receiver 1949 The Queen Anne style of the 18th century provides camouflage for mid-20th-century television technology—artfully hidden yet easily accessible. Made by Radio Corporation of America Camden, New Jersey Mahogany with mahogany veneer 74.137.1 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Fraser Ma?d?? 5 Phonograph 1919 Intended to harmonize with a parlor or library suite, this case hides the workings of the phonograph behind fine wood and inlays. Made by Thomas A. Edison, Inc. Orange, New Jersey Mahogany with ???wood inlay 00.256.4 Gift of Thomas A. Edison 6 Sewing Machine 1950-1955 Space-saving taken to an extreme; When folded, this console reduces the sewing machine, operator's seat—and even storage in the seat—to an understated block-like presence. Made by Sears Roebuck and Company ... 7 Sewing Machine 1860-1865 Fashionable parlor furniture inspired the ornately scrolled and pierced iron legs of this elaborately decorated sewing machine. Made by the Florence Sewing Machine Company Florence, Massachusetts 00.3.10048 |
