18th-century bronze bell w/ wrought iron wall mount

RESERVED FOR LK.

A delightful bronze bell with a wrought iron wall bracket dating from the end of the eighteenth century. Previously used at a large home in Carpentras, France, perhaps as a bell to announce that it is time for dinner. Note the wall bracket's pretty scrolling wrought iron pieces and patina of the bell.

Today, it could be a terrific decorative piece in an entryway or mounted on a wall outside in a garden. The bell still makes a lovely sound. To ring the bell, simply attach a chain or rope to the top link fixed to the piece attached to the bell and loop over the tallest goal post style bracket at the back and pull down.
