Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Antique Pastoral Bell / Cattle Bell with Clapper in Wood and Leather Strap – Collector's Item.
Rare and old pastoral bell (cattle bell) of artisanal manufacture, hammered and welded iron. The piece stands out for its excellent authenticity, preserving the original clapper entirely carved in wood. Includes the respective suspension strap in rigid leather, aged by time, a highly valued element by collectors of this type of rural ethnography.
It presents a very rich natural patina with oxidation marks and wear resulting from real field use, giving it a unique rustic character. An excellent decorative piece or for inclusion in collections of folk art and traditional agricultural tools.
Good vintage condition. Obvious signs of age, oxidation and natural leather wear attest to its authenticity. Functional (emits sound).
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
