A lot comprising two telephones designed in the style of vintage appliances. The first item is a rectangular wooden-cased telephone featuring a decorative inlaid geometric motif on the front panel. It is fitted with a cradle-mounted handset that has a central wooden grip and brass-effect metal components for the earpiece and mouthpiece, connected by a coiled black cord. The second item is a desk telephone with a cream-glazed ceramic body and handset grip, decorated with transfer-printed floral sprays in pink, yellow, and blue. It features gold-toned metal hardware, including a decorative handset cradle and a circular push-button dial configured to resemble a rotary interface. The buttons are marked with standard 0-9 digits and telephone symbols. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are legible on the exterior of either item.
