AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A column-mounted, 1920s-era service bell used in the refectory of a convent to alert the monks that the meal is ready. It has no clapper, but it emits a pleasant sound when swung on the metal support brackets. The knob is brass, the metal part finely wrought iron. The base, however, is chestnut wood, probably replaced in recent times. The overall condition is excellent; the item is stable and suitable for use.
