Antique Phone Chair with Fabric Seat

When I was growing up I used to think everyone had one of these. Where else would you put your phone after all? Today people think of a phone being tethered to the wall as an odd concept.

This phone chair (table?) was in my grandmother's house. Right in the entrance hall, it was the first thing you saw when you came in the house.

I don't know much about it, dates from at least the 50's, possibly the 40's. I cannot locate any maker's mark on it anywhere.

Other than the obvious wear and tear issues, there is nothing wrong, no broken pieces or torn fabric. It's in great shape. Typical really nice construction that you just don't see in modern furniture.

Public meeting or delivery is available in Auburn, NY.

Shipping would be a bear. I will have to arrange outside of Mercari which I do not like to do. This ad is largely a placeholder, the chair is available but it's a local pickup type of thing.
