New in at Pedlars are these Reconditioned Wall Telephones.
They look like the classic 500 series phones in shape, but they are designed to be wall mounted, which makes them that little bit more unusual. The phone is available in either black or ivory and they have the old-fashioned rotary dial, rather the modern push buttons.
The telephone costs £235 from Pedlars.
Remember the Vyconic turntable clocks we featured at the end of last year? Well, if you don't, check them out, as they look absolutely stunning. I suspect sales have gone well too, as the company is now recycling other items, producing designs like this Vyconic rotary phone desk clock.
Yes, this did indeed start off life as a humble dial phone, but has since been given a makeover and some clock hands, although the numbers obviously don't match the time.
It's also a one-off right now, so something unique as well as quirky. £55.31 secures it and while you're there, check out those record player clocks too!
We’ve seen plenty of retro telephones that are shaped like this, but we haven’t seen any decorated in the same way as this Decoupage Telegraph by Viva Fabric.
The classic style phone has been covered in brightly coloured vintage fabric using the decoupage style. The phone itself is still fully functioning, unimpeded by its unusual decoration. It still has its original cream cord and rotary dial.
The phone costs £90 from Viva Fabric on Not on the High Street.
The Crosley CR92 Country Kitchen Phone is a reproduction of an early American phone from the early 1920s.
It features a turning crank handle, a handcrafted wood and veneer cabinet and a storage compartment. Where it differs from the original design, is that what looks like a traditional rotary dial, is actually push buttons.
It is available to buy from Amazon, priced just over $63.
We've already featured Dwell's Bertoia-like wire chair, part of their new collection. There are accessories worthy of note for retro fans too, such as this vintage typewriter cushion.
It's a very simple black and white design with the outline of the telephone displayed against faint, typewritten text. If you really want to celebrate vintage home accessories, there's also a similar cushion available that features the outline of a telephone.
Available now, the cushion costs £24.95

Another quirky thing for your sofa – this vintage telephone cushion, which is currently available at John Lewis.
What you see is what you get, a novelty cushion shaped like an old fashioned black dial telephone, the whole thing looking like more a cartoon illustration of a 'phone than the real deal – and all the better for it.
It's made of 100 per cent cotton, with a polyester lining and is available online, priced at just £15.
