Snr Excelsior 52 Radio – Gold-finish Model From The 1950s – In Working Condition
✨ Vintage SNR Excelsior 52 Radio – 1950s – Gold Finish – In Working Order ✨
???? **A superb vintage SNR Excelsior 52 radio, dating from the 1950s**, a true testament to the golden age of radio and postwar French design. With its aerodynamic lines, generously rounded shapes, and elegant gold finish, this iconic model has an exceptional decorative presence. A collector’s item that perfectly embodies the aesthetics of the 1950s, blending industrial modernity with retro refinement.
✨ Its imposing gold-colored metal front panel, crisscrossed by fine horizontal grilles, frames a magnificent central dial featuring blue, cream, and gold lettering. The dial displays the various reception bands—longwave, mediumwave, shortwave, and spread bands—along with the names of numerous international stations. The ivory controls, the small red SNR emblem, and its elegant, sculptural base complete a particularly successful design, where every detail contributes to the charm of this radio.
????️ Manufactured by **SNR (Société Nouvelle de Radiophonie)**, the Excelsior 52 is highly sought after today for its unique design and instantly recognizable silhouette. Its almost futuristic look, typical of the optimism of the 1950s, makes it as much a beautiful decorative object as a collector’s item. It will naturally find its place in a vintage, late Art Deco, industrial, or contemporary interior, placed on a sideboard, console table, or living room cabinet.
???? **In working condition**, preserved in good overall condition for its age. The gold finish shows some signs of wear, including small scratches, marks, and surface imperfections, particularly visible on the top and edges. The dial also shows signs of age, particularly around its edge. These imperfections attest to its authenticity and in no way detract from its remarkable decorative character. Telescopic antenna included; controls and rear panel intact. Confirmed to be in working order, though reception of all frequency ranges is not guaranteed under current broadcast conditions.
???? **Dimensions:** width 57 cm × depth 25 cm × height 38 cm, excluding the extended antenna. **Brand:** SNR. **Model:** Excelsior 52. **Era:** 1950s. **Condition:** functional, with patina and signs of age. A superb collector’s radio, as captivating for its history as for its aesthetic appeal, ideal for enthusiasts of radio, French design, and vintage items with character.
???? Shipping available in France and worldwide, or in-person pickup.
