About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This antique wooden telephone with a handset is a historical piece by Siemens & Halske, dating from the 1900s. This model embodies the engineering of early telephony, offering a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century communication technology.
The device is crafted with a solid wood casing, complemented by metal elements, including the acoustic horn and internal components. The internal mechanism, visible when the casing is opened, reveals the complexity of its original design, including a 4.5-volt Wonder battery. The metal finishes have a natural patina, attesting to its authenticity and age.
The overall condition is good, retaining its period character with wear consistent with its age. The internal and external components show signs of natural aging that add to its historical charm.
This collectible telephone would be a perfect fit for an industrial or vintage-style interior. It makes a unique decorative object for an office, library, or living room, bringing a touch of history and curiosity to the space. Dimensions: approximately 20 cm long, 14 cm wide, and 11 cm high.
See photos for condition. Thank you.
