Antique Brass Hotel Bell with Match Holder & Strike

Ding ding! Service, please! 

This gorgeous Antique Brass Hotel Bell with Match Holder & Strike is sure to add an impressive touch of luxury to your home. Handsomely cast with a warm, attractively aged patina and a well-shaped, curved tray base for striking and discarding spent matches, this exquisitely sculptural piece with its accompanying cache of matches at-the-ready would have adorned the front desk of a hotel or shop in early 20th century England. 

The clever design of this handsome piece showcases its working mechanics, adding to the overall beauty of this very special bell. With classic simplicity, a quick press of the the hinged lever releases the hammer's head to strike the bell producing a bright, clear ring. The articulated brass cup at the top with its delightfully textured perimeter, not only serves as a stylish finial, but also as a holder and additional strike for matches. 

Whether showcased as a bookshelf accent, a desk accessory or a  place to drop keys by the front door, this elegant antique treasure will forever remain at your service.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. For safety in transit, matches not included. For matchstrike capability use "strike anywhere" matches. 6.75"H x 5" in diameter.
