Decorative bell (3) - Switzerland - Period bells

Authentic and highly evocative lot of three collectible bells in bronze, brass, and wrought iron, perfect witnesses to folk pastoral art and the rural life of the era. The centerpiece of this set is a superb and heavy Alpine bell in polished bronze or brass bearing the raised relief inscription "1956 MELCHTAL," commemorating this famous and picturesque historic Swiss valley (an object so sonorous that it will allow you to find your guests at the table or subtly misplace your partner in the garden). It is accompanied by two antique cattle bells or calling bells of different sizes, topped by their imposing fittings and original wrought-iron mounting rods. The set sits in an authentic, raw vintage patina with evident signs of wear: the Swiss bell displays a wonderful golden shine, while the other two bells and their iron mounts show surface rust and deeply ingrained oxidation giving them a rustic patina that is truly unique, all while retaining their original functional clappers. Technical specifications: the lot has a robust total weight of 1250 g, with respective heights of 9.5 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm, and diameters of 9 cm for the largest and 7.5 cm for the other two models. A characterful and highly decorative ensemble, ideal for adding a touch of rustic charm or enriching a mountain art collection. Please study the detailed photographs that clearly highlight the surface condition and authentic rust of these pieces. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with a complete tracking number.
