From the 1970s or 1980s, this telephone table is originally from Normandy in France. It has no hallmarks but is made from sturdy wood. There are a few scratches here and there as well as a crack at the back.

Designer Advice:

The rich chestnut brown stain of this telephone table would look gorgeous in an entryway space with a warm neutral décor scheme. The upholstery has a subtle olive-green tinge to it that would also look stunning matched with other jewel tones. A burgundy cushion with button tufting would accentuate the detail at the back and infuse your entryway with elegance.

This telephone table is a vintage piece but has been renovated. It features a soft off-white finish, with the original brocade fabric being painted midnight blue. As well as the shelf, a drawer with a golden hanging pull gives you more storage.

Designer Advice:

Sophisticated and refined, we think this telephone table would be ideal for traditional décor schemes. The drawer also makes it a great option for a study or work-from-home area, especially as it will take up less space than a desk. Pair with cream furniture and add a navy-blue lamp either on top of the drawer or nearby.

Buying Guide

A wood telephone table could be part of your added productivity plan. By placing the phone away from your desk, you are less likely to answer it during your working hours. This can be especially important for people who work at home. By letting the answering machine take your calls, and muting the volume, you can keep your inspiration flow going and still get all your important calls. A telephone table can also be positioned in a hallway or other shared area so that in a household where only one phone is available it can be shared by all.

A telephone table is almost becoming an anachronism as more and more people are moving toward personal phones instead of one central house phone. Even so, a telephone table can be a handy furnishing. It can be used as a plant stand, as a small desk or as a support for a three-dimensional work of art. It can be a place to put your phone – even if it is your personal one – along with a charging station. Or it can be the central location for all the family phones when they are not in use.

Unfinished Telephone Table

A simple telephone table usually consists of a square table top surface that is about eight to ten inches wide and deep. A small drawer is right under the table surface, making a handy place to keep a telephone directory. The unfinished stand can be stained, painted or left its natural color. If the latter is chosen, it can either be coated with a sealer to preserve the natural blond color of the wood, or it can be allowed to slowly weather to a soft grey.

An Elegant Telephone Table

The basic telephone table theme can be expanded to create a beautiful piece of furniture, not unlike Louis XIV style, with the slender legs and the graceful body. With that said, the design still preserves the small table top, but instead of the single drawer beneath the top of the table, there is an open space where an ornament can be placed. Three small drawers at the bottom allow for a collection of phone books to be stored.

The Hall Secretary Telephone Table

This is a truly beautiful piece of furniture. Shaped to resemble a small secretary desk, it has a decorative lip at the back of the top shelf, a small drawer under the shelf and then the primary table top. On either end of the table, there are compartments with lift-up lids, just right for small things such as a notepad and pen, postage stamps, and envelopes. Beneath the lower table top is a wider drawer that could conceal a phone directory or stationery. The legs are unbraced and there is no lower shelf. A small chair could easily be teamed with this table, making it a desk or workstation.
