Description from the seller

Exclusive Vintage Solid Brass Hotel Reception Desk Bell on Turned Hardwood Base – Classic Luxury – Superb Resonant Sound

Description:
Offered from a private collection: a highly exclusive and beautifully preserved mechanical hotel reception bell. This exquisite piece combines timeless functional design with the sophisticated luxury of a bygone era.
The bell features a heavy, high-polished solid brass dome that has developed a subtle, authentic patina over time, adding immense character and historical charm. The dome is mounted on a beautifully turned, rich dark hardwood plinth that acts as a natural soundboard.

Equipped with a finely tuned internal striking mechanism, a single press of the brass top button releases a remarkably clear, loud, and long-lasting resonant chime. On the front of the dome, a subtle, elegant engraving is visible, hinting at its unique heritage.
Whether as a functional statement piece on an executive desk, a striking addition to a boutique interior, or a centerpiece in a high-end tobacciana and counter-bell collection, this object exudes pure class and quality.
• Material: Solid Brass / Polished Copper & Premium Hardwood
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of age.
No cracks to the wood, mechanism works flawlessly with a brilliant acoustic ring.
• Acoustics: Deep, clear, and long-lasting ring.
An exceptional opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire a premier-quality piece.
