A beautiful vintage solid brass hand bell featuring an intricate enamel design. The baluster handle and bell body are finished in a textured cream ground, decorated with hand-etched floral motifs filled with muted earth tones, soft golds, and greys. Complete with its original iron clapper, the bell retains a lovely, resonant ring.
The piece is in very good vintage condition, showing some honest cosmetic wear due to age. The original gilding is still intact, bringing a wonderful warmth to the polished brass highlights and turned stem. A fine example of mid-century Asian metalwork craftsmanship.
