Art Deco FADA Radio

How fortunate that we were able to find another FADA radio in such amazing condition. We had a butterscotch/amber colored version not long ago and it was such a popular item we are delighted to present a burgundy model now for your consideration. The catalin has been polished to a gleaming surface free of any cracks or chips. It is fully functional with the robust sound that comes from vintage radios of this period. Collectors seek this model in this color combination from the late 1930s to mid 1940s.

Fada Radio was founded by Frank Angelo D’Andrea from Long Island City, Queens. Fada was famous for its timeless designs like this streamlined and futuristic model called the ” the Temple.. a truly incredible design with a flat, relatively plain surface on top that drops on either end from rounded corners then bulges out and then abruptly pulls back to a tapered base. It is made out of rare and beautiful silky catalin – which is essentially a super-refined bakelite.”
