AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This distinctive piece of furniture was designed at the time as a compact hallway telephone table. It consists of a telephone table with an open storage compartment and a pull-out, upholstered seat that can be slid back under the furniture again after use.
A particularly original detail is the retractable “Memory Slide” for noting down names and phone numbers. It is still present and in very neat, unused condition. The original Chippy Telephone Seats label is also present in the piece.
The piece features gracefully shaped side panels, slim legs, and original metal details. The combination of dark wood and light upholstery gives the piece an elegant Mid-Century look.
Condition:
Very neat vintage condition, especially considering its age. The wood and construction have been well preserved. The Memory Slide is particularly clean and unused. See the photos for a good impression of the condition; they are part of the description.
Period: circa the 1960s
Manufacturer: Chippy Heath / Chippy Telephone Seats
Origin: England
Style: Mid-Century / vintage
Notable features: original pull-out seat and original Memory Slide.
Today it is, besides being a collectible vintage telephone piece, also excellent as a hallway piece or occasional table.
