1958 Bakelite Telephone Lamp (Dimmable)

This bespoke Bakelite telephone lamp combines vintage charm with modern functionality, making it a standout piece in interior design. 

The telephone is an AWA 400CBT (Central Battery Table), retaining its original coiled cord and featuring a recessed globe holder where the handset rests. 

AWA, founded in 1913, became a key player in wireless communication. In 1957, they introduced the Series 400 telephone, notable for its improved sound quality and curved Bakelite handset. Its Central Battery design meant no rotary dial or hand crank - just lift the handset to "chat." This model dates back to 1958.

The wear and tear on this old beauty tells a story of a life well-lived, like a seasoned traveller with tales to tell. But far from detracting from its appeal, these imperfections only add to its charm.

The included ST64 smoky glass LED globe adds a touch of elegance, while the inline dimmer switch allows for adjustable lighting. 

This piece will create a focal point in living rooms, studies, or bedrooms, blending nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics. Its unique design adds character, while the dimmable light provides versatile ambiance.

Whether placed on a side table, console, or as a statement piece on a desk, this telephone lamp enhances any space with its distinctive vintage flair.
