Vintage and mid century Vulcan heater 1979s

Vintage Australian Vulcan Mid-Century Electric Space Heater

​An iconic piece of Australian mid-century heating design, this vintage Vulcan electric radiator heater features striking atomic-era geometric relief panels in a warm cream tone, framed by rich faux-timber/woodgrain trim. Produced in Australia during the late 1960s to 1970s, Vulcan heaters were ubiquitous in mid-century Australian homes, valued as much for their architectural presence and decor appeal as their heating functionality.
