These fascinating antiques are treasured by collectors, museums, and enthusiasts for their unique blend of science, history, and craftsmanship.

What is a Violet Ray Machine?
Violet Ray machines use a Tesla coil, also known as a resonance transformer, to produce a high-frequency, low-current discharge applied to the skin. Developed in the early 1900s, they quickly gained popularity among naturopaths and health practitioners. Promoted as electrotherapy marvels, these devices were marketed to treat everything from poor circulation and arthritis to skin conditions, digestion issues, and even nervous disorders.

A Century of Fascination
Nikola Tesla, one of history’s most prolific inventors, paved the way for many of the breakthroughs in electromagnetic induction and alternating current that made Violet Ray machines possible. Early 20th-century literature boasted over 200 claimed uses for these devices — reflecting society’s deep fascination with electricity as a mysterious healing force.
