1958 Rotary Dial Telephone Lamp (Dimmable)

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 Post Master General, moving from imported parts to local manufacturing. 

According to service tags and date stamps, this STC 400AT Series Bakelite rotary table telephone was produced in 1958.

This piece, rich with history, has been thoughtfully repurposed into a stunning table lamp, beginning a new chapter as both a functional item and a unique conversation starter, effortlessly blending vintage charm with modern utility.
