ABOUT PRODUCTID 37388
This classic rotary dial telephone, crafted from natural marble and brass, originates from Italy in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Its geometric body rests on a polished green marble base, accented by veins in brown and cream, giving each piece its unique character. Brass elements—including the dial, cradle, and ornamental fittings—add a golden sheen, subtly aged by time. The handset combines marble segments in varied tones, while the cord is clad in an olive-green braided fabric. The overall construction appears robust, with visible brass screws and fittings. The telephone is preserved in very good condition, with no visible cracks or chips in the marble and only minor patina on the brass. The listed price refers to one piece.This telephone tells the story of Italian modernism and neoclassicism at the turn of the decade, an era when luxurious materials merged with geometric restraint. Its form is a testament to a time when communication took on new meaning: marble suggests permanence and gravitas, while brass adds warmth and artisanal refinement. Each line and detail echoes the spirit of an age when everyday objects were also emblems of status and cultivated taste. The telephone seems to whisper tales of messages exchanged and the slow rhythm of conversations that once unfolded through it.This model can be paired with 1960s furniture—low teak sideboards, minimalist consoles, or upholstered armchairs. It fits naturally in a mid-century modern living room, amidst graphite-tinted mirrors, vintage ceramics, or lighting with golden accents. Consider displaying it on a marble or wooden console, where its materials and form will stand out against a muted backdrop, creating a visual focal point that maintains its historical gravitas.The telephone is in working technical condition. Dimensions: width 20 cm, depth 24.5 cm, height 24.5 cm.
