Antiek Deurbel - 20th century - Cast Iron Duck

Authentic antique cast-iron wall bell with a decorative duck figure, dating from approximately 1890–1920.

The bell features a charming hand-painted duck above an ornamental cast-iron wall bracket. Particularly attractive is the original period paint, which has not been repainted or restored. Natural wear to the colours and the beautifully developed patina give the piece a genuine antique character.

The cast iron has been professionally cleaned while carefully preserving the original surface, paint and patina.

The bell is complete with its hanging mechanism and original-style internal clapper. It functions properly and produces a clear, strong ringing sound.

The piece is in very good authentic condition for its age, without known repairs or restorations. Natural traces of age, oxidation and wear are present and form part of its antique character. Please study the photographs, which provide an accurate impression of the condition.

A decorative and increasingly difficult-to-find example of a late 19th/early 20th-century cast-iron wall bell, particularly appealing because of its preserved original painted decoration.
