Item Title: Antique Ornate Cast Brass Hand Bell with Floral Daisy Relief 5.7”
Style: Victorian / Edwardian
Material: Heavy Cast Brass / Bronze Alloy
Era: Late 19th to Early 20th Century
Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic antique hand bell featuring a highly detailed relief pattern of daisies or sunflowers around the body. The bell is topped with a distinctive ornate ring handle (figure-8 style) with a shell-like motif. This is a heavy, sand-cast piece with a wonderful, genuine aged patina.
Condition:
• Patina: The bell features a rich, dark verdigris (green oxidation) and natural aged darkening. I have left it in its original "as-found" condition, as many collectors prefer this authentic look over polished brass.
• Functional: The original heavy clapper is intact and produces a clear, resonant ring.
• Wear: Consistent with age; no cracks or major dents. Please see all photos for a detailed look at the surface texture and casting.
