Auction Description
Hughes is pleased to present this Single-Owner Auction of Vintage & Antique Electric Home Appliances. This museum quality collection was amassed over 20 years seeking out the best examples of each piece with high standards for condition, completeness, and functionality. Many pieces are unused, in excellent to mint condition, and with their original box and tags. All are tested and in working condition. A true slice of American history, these appliances tell the fascinating story of the 20th Century's extraordinary economic growth between WWI and WWII. Innovations in electrical power, industrial design, and advertising converged in a heyday for home appliance design. From the modernistic 1939 Walter Von Nessen Chase Comet Coffee Set and the Saarinen-inspired Manning Bowman Harmony Coffee Set to the 1920's Victorian-esque Universal and Royal Rochester Coffee Sets, this collection celebrates the breadth of industrial design in the first half of the 20th Century.
