Description

A vintage wicker and rattan cradle telephone, sometimes referred to as a French Provincial or Victorian-inspired rotary dial phone. These telephones were popular as decorative home accents in the 1970s and 1980s. It features a tan or cream and gold-toned color scheme with distinctive caned (wicker) detailing on the base and behind the dial. It is a classic rotary dial phone. While many are considered collector's items or display pieces, some models from brands like Deco-Tel or Radio Shack were fully functional landlines. 9"H Good condition.
