We bought this lovely cream-coloured vintage telephone yesterday. It was in a bit of a state when we got it – but it’s cleaned up beautifully.

This particular model is the BT 746 which was manufactured in the 1970s.

We’re always on the lookout for nice telephones…

…they’re functional items – and they’re also great for adding a vintage touch to home or office.

Phones have proved popular in our shop – we’ve had a variety of shapes and colours…

…even a fantastic leather clad model.
