Antique French Concierge Bell / Hotel Bell - Art Nouveau - Brass/Bronze - circa 1900

An antique hotel bell (reception bell) in a distinctive French Art Nouveau style, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900).

The piece is entirely made of patinated brass or bronze and sits on a highly ornate, openwork base with floral motifs.

Notable about this model is the elegantly twisted stem that supports the bell.

At the side there is the authentic mechanical lever with a decorative knob.

When the lever is pressed and released, the internal clapper strikes the bell, producing a clear, resonant and characteristic tone.

A beautiful functional decorative piece for a reception desk, a desk, or as a unique collectible for lovers of antique office supplies.

The bell is carefully packaged and ships worldwide.
