AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic antique bronze bell (sonnaille / clarine) from a traditional French artisanal foundry. Genuine folk art object, perfect for a countryside decoration, rustic style, chalet, or to complete a collection. Features and technical details: Material: Solid bronze (very clear, carrying resonance). Dimensions: Base diameter 10.5 cm. Height 11 cm. Weight: 500 grams (a handsome, heavy, dense object). Original marking: Mold number 12 stamped in relief on the top (the brain). Clapper: Complete bell with its forged-iron ball from the period. Mounting: Equipped with its original beaded ring (upper metal ring) for easy hanging (door, wall, leather strap). Condition: Excellent overall. The bronze shows a superb antique patina with natural oxidation traces inside, attesting to its authenticity and farm-life history. No cracks or chips, the bell has a superb ringing sound.

I am selling a magnificent antique hand holder candlestick (also called "rat de cave") from the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900). Entirely in solid bronze (or thick factory brass), it features a very beautiful naturalistic leaf design with finely chiseled veins. The organic handle mimics a braided branch. A stunning piece for collection or charming decoration. Details and characteristics: Style: Art Nouveau / 1900 / Chic countryside Material: Solid bronze / Brass (old sand-casting) Dimensions: 16 cm x 8 cm Weight: 300 g (a handsome, heavy, dense object) Condition: Very good overall, no cracks or deformations. Beautiful authentic antique patina with slight traces of wax. Bottom equipped with 3 stabilizing lugs (feet).
