Am I reading that right? 290,000 euros? Must be a typo in the listing.
Still a nice looking intercom or office phone.

After further study, I think it means 290 euros, a little over $290 US dollars.

The comma and the decimal point are used with reversed roles in Continental Europe.

Very nice!
The French certainly had a way of turning telephones into lovely pieces of desk art.
