Vintage English Elizabethan-Style Female Figural Brass Bell

Add a touch of historical whimsy to your curated space with this captivating vintage figural hand bell. Cast from heavy, solid brass, the bell beautifully depicts a lady dressed in a sweeping Renaissance or Elizabethan-style gown, with her wide, textured skirt cleverly forming the bell's flare. Adding a delightful touch of characteristic novelty, the internal clapper is whimsically cast as a pair of dangling legs and feet. Stamped "ENGLAND" along the inner rim, the piece boasts a rich, darkened bronze patina that perfectly highlights the intricate folds of the dress, the structured bodice, and the figure's serene posture. A charming and functional curio that still produces a clear ring, this substantial lady bell makes an exceptional paperweight or shelf accent, bringing a distinct layer of character to a traditional gentleman's library, an eclectic Dark Academia interior, or a classic English Hunt Country aesthetic.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
