Brown Vintage Telephone Porcelain Limoges Box

An old style telephone in warm brown, the kind that once sat on a hall table with its cord stretched across the room, is shaped in porcelain here. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Hold the Line

Before cell phones there was the family telephone, one ring for everyone in the house and long conversations on the stairs. This piece recalls that era with a classic shape and a warm, wood like brown that suits a study or a living room.

It is a fun present for a telephone company retiree, a receptionist, a switchboard veteran, or a friend who still loves a long phone call. Set it on a hall table, a desk, or a bookshelf beside other vintage pieces. Collectors of antique phones will enjoy adding it to their display.

A warm reminder of the days when a ringing phone was an event, and everyone in the house raced to answer it first.
