Description from the seller
Rare Vintage "Velox" Espresso Machine B. Malago Ferrara | Late 1940s / 1950s Design Collectible (No Cable)
Italian design rarity for collectors and enthusiasts!
For sale is an absolute rarity for collectors, lovers, and enthusiasts of Italian design: An original electric espresso and coffee machine from the brand "Velox" (Patented), manufactured by B. Malago in Ferrara, Italy (circa late 1940s / early 1950s).
This rare model is a masterful example of the futuristic design of the early post-war period and a spectacular eye-catcher on any sideboard, in the coffee bar, or in a design collection. The distinctive chrome finishes, the historic voltage selector contacts on the underside, and the shapely, characteristic Bakelite handles give it extraordinary decorative value.
Condition and scope of delivery:
• Condition: Beautiful, age-appropriate optical original condition with great metal shine and subtle vintage patina. The fine Bakelite elements give the machine its unmistakable retro charm. A true adornment for any display case (details see photos).
• Scope of delivery: Machine as shown, including original serving pot (also with Bakelite handle) and coaster.
• Cable: No power cord is included in the delivery.
Important note about the sale (Only as a collector's item):
Due to the extreme age and the absence of a cable, the machine is explicitly offered as an untested, non-operational collector, decorative, and DIY object. A fantastic piece of time history for connoisseurs.
Selling my beautiful collection.
