This antique brass hand bell features a classic flared bell form paired with a finely turned wooden handle, showing honest age wear and a warm, original patina throughout.
Standing approximately 25cm tall, the bell has a pleasing weight in the hand and produces a clear, resonant tone, suggesting it was made for practical daily use rather than purely decorative purposes. The wooden handle shows surface wear and age marks consistent with long-term handling, adding to its authenticity and character.
Likely dating to the late 19th to early 20th century, bells of this type were commonly used in homes, schools, churches, hotels, or service settings to summon attention.
