Fascinating lot of two iconic French black bakelite telephones, symbols of mid-20th century industrial telecommunications design (PTT - Poste, Télégraphe et Téléphone). ​The lot includes: ​Model U43 (Universel 1943): Manufactured by Ericsson-France. Featuring a sturdy, squared design. This unit displays the numbering "92.12.20" on the front and a rotary dial with emergency service labels (Police, Pompiers), typical of public offices of the era. Equipped with a rear supplementary receiver. ​"Pyramid" Model (1930s/40s): A French design classic, likely produced by AOIP or Thompson. Elegant and timeless lines. It also includes the characteristic second earpiece for a third person to listen in. ​Technical Details & Condition: ​Material: Shiny black bakelite. ​Accessories: Both complete with main handset and supplementary receiver ("écouteur"). ​Aesthetic Condition: Good vintage condition. The bakelite retains a nice luster. Note normal signs of age and wear on the original fabric/rubber cables (some exposed wires, as shown in photos). ​Functionality: Sold as decorative or collector's items; not tested on modern lines. Rotary dials turn smoothly. ​A perfect set for industrial or vintage interior design, or to enhance a vintage technology collection. #IndustrialDesign #VintageDecor #Modernariato #InteriorDesign #IndustrialStyle #HomeDecor #Bachelite #LoftStyle #RetroStyle
