The 1920s German Light Bulb Voltage Tester Bar is just what the name suggests. It is a bar-cart for the home that has been inspired by an early 20th-century tester salvaged from a factory. Although it looks more like a war machine of some sort, especially when closed, it is an innocent enough creation. Unless, of course, people decide to party a little too hard around it.
Created by Restoration Hardware, the 1920s German Light Bulb Voltage Tester Bar boasts a unique spherical shape that houses spirits, wine bottles and the hanging glassware to drink them from. Weighing in at a whopping 265 pounds, it is made out of cast iron, which gives the antiqued finish an even more authentic feel.
