Analogue telephone - Onyx - Retro Telephone

Hearing/answering works. Needs restauration for full functioning. The marmer has no cracks other than natural aging.

For connoisseurs of high-end vintage interiors and Hollywood Regency style: a stunning, heavy, and luxurious analog rotary telephone, crafted from precious green onyx and richly decorated brass.

This unique statement piece was handcrafted in Italy during the mid-20th century (1960s/1970s).

​Green onyx is a beautiful natural stone (semi-precious stone) renowned for its deep, organic veining in green, gold, and brown tones. On this device, the onyx stone is beautifully integrated into the robust body, the handle of the handset, and the refined inlay of the rotary dial. The phone rests on four highly ornate, baroque-style brass feet and features a beautifully detailed cradle.
