ABOUT PRODUCTID 9423
The National cash register from the late 19th century exemplifies American craftsmanship, produced for the Danish market as evidenced by the 'Kroner Øre' inscription on its display. Crafted from metal in a warm, patinated golden-brown hue, it displays a wealth of Art Nouveau details—floral ornamentation, fluid lines, and intricately reliefed surfaces embellish the body, base, and sides. The construction is substantial, with visible rivets and robust metalwork; the round keys feature white ceramic or enamel tops with black numerals, accented by red and blue rings for added visual interest. The darker handles and levers bear the dignified traces of age and use. The register sits atop a rectangular, richly decorated base, retaining all original buttons and an operational drawer. Its condition is very good for its age, with a consistent patina, minor signs of wear, and no missing parts or signs of modern intervention. This register channels the spirit of an era when utility met ornament. Art Nouveau—here, every surface becomes a canvas, as if a late 19th-century counting machine aspired to be a sculpture in everyday life. The metal tells of a time when even commercial tools became carriers of artistry, and the swirling leaves and flowing lines echo the optimistic outlook of a world on the cusp of a new century. The National cash register would suit a home library, study, or an eclectic collector’s interior—placed on a walnut desk or a period console, it can be paired with a Jugendstil lamp, a stack of vintage books, or contemporary minimalist accents to highlight its character and spark conversations about history. In industrial or loft spaces, it can serve as a distinctive sculptural focal point—a tangible fragment of functional history.
