ARIA Catalin Radio 561 'Jewel' in Yellow + Maroon

Seldom Seen Two-Tone Model

Ref: RA924

Catalin ARIA 561 'Jewel' Radio in yellow with maroon trim. The beautiful butterscotch catalin cabinet has faint marbleizing and a beautiful gloss. The original maroon trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example of a DeWald model. This radio is the same model as the DeWald....just branded ARIA. The design of this radio while boxy has numerous Art Deco elements such as the outline grill surrounding the grill slits, semi-circle handle and fluted knobs. This is an uncommon radio model to find in any color combination.

Radio cabinet has no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. The maroon trim is all original with no cracks, chips, or repairs. ARIA decal and gold patterned grille cloth are original to the radio and in great condition. Dial plastic is a correct replacement. Radio and trim have small scratches consistent with careful use + age. This great radio would make a great addition to any radio or Art Deco collection.

Provenance: From the Collection of French-born American artist Arman (1928-2005)
