"Small Bronze Bell – Plant Motif And Initials “mc” – France – Early Period"
Late 17th Century France Superb small bronze bell (brass alloy), dated to the late 17th century and of French origin. This model, decorated with the initials “MC” in relief, is distinguished by its clear and precise sound, retaining its original clapper. The bell also has a decorative motif in relief, probably floral or symbolic, which adds a touch of elegance and testifies to the craftsmanship of the time. The 17th century in France was a period marked by the use of decorative motifs loaded with religious symbolism and a baroque aesthetic. This type of bell, used either in parishes or for domestic purposes, reflects the tradition of solid and refined craftsmanship. Its old patina, with traces of wear testifying to its long use, reinforces the authenticity and charm of this piece. Its clapper is intact, which allows it to still ring perfectly, bringing a functional appeal to this collector's bell. Dimensions: Height: 10 cm ALL DELIVERIES ARE MADE BY DHL EXPRESS ONLY!
