The British Gramophone & Typewriter Company introduced the Monarch Senior Gramophone in 1905. The company produced two distinct models of the Monarch Senior gramophone between 1905 and 1911.

First Monarch Senior (1905):

• Introduced by the British Gramophone & Typewriter Company in 1905.
• Features an ornate oak case with egg-and-dart mouldings and round corner columns.

The Ionic (1907-1911):

• A new mahogany Monarch Senior model available in Great Britain.
• Substantially different design, less fussy than the original.
