1953 STC 300AT Rotary Dial Telephone Lamp (Dimmable) - PURPLE/YELLOW

From Communication to Illumination: A Timeless Piece Reimagined

STC (Standard Telephones and Cables) stands as a true pioneer in Australian telecommunications. Established in Sydney in 1926 by ITT (International Telephone and Telegraph), STC was created to meet the growing demand for telecommunication equipment.

As demand for local production grew, STC began assembling Bakelite telephones for the Postmaster General, moving from imported parts to local manufacturing.

According to service tags and date stamps, this STC 300AT Series Bakelite rotary table telephone was produced in 1953. Originally a classic piece of communication history, it has now been brought vividly back to life in a custom-chosen purple that sings of childhood crayon boxes and twilight skies. The handset and dial are in a glorious pale yellow, reminiscent of the first blush of dawn.

Complete with an ST64 filament globe - flip the dimmer switch and watch as the room exhales:  shadows soften, colours deepen, and time itself seems to slow. 

This rare reimagining adds both a pop of colour and a nostalgic glow to any interior - seamlessly blending vintage charm with modern function.
