Description from the seller
Old brass wall bell – Art Nouveau Caryatid / floral decor
Very beautiful decorative brass wall bell, adorned with a superb feminine motif evoking a caryatid, surrounded by scrolls, foliage and vegetal elements in an Art Nouveau / Belle Époque spirit.
The feminine face at the center, with its styled hair and delicate details, adds a lot of character to the whole. The decor continues around the bell with pretty arabesques and vegetal motifs typical of the decorative arts of the late 19th / early 20th century.
The bell is suspended from the central part and retains its chain and hook mechanism. It produces a very charming and pleasant sound, with a lovely sonority when it rings.
A particularly decorative piece, which can be installed in an entrance hall, a kitchen, a shop, a curiosity cabinet, or simply integrated into a collection of antique brass objects.
