Call bell - J.Peter Paris - Horology - France

Stunning hotel reception bell dating from the late 19th century. A model of great elegance; its circular base is adorned with geometric friezes of antique inspiration in a Greek motif, with an internal clockwork mechanism patented at the time (the J.P. system called electric or similar). The mechanism is wound using the winding key or butterfly and a simple press on the push button in ivory or ivoirite (ivorine) triggers a rapid ring (like an alarm clock or telephone). A superb, homogeneous patina across the entire object. A pearled brass collar creates a very nice visual contrast. The piece has remained perfectly original. For decorative collection or use. Fast, careful shipping with tracking and insurance.

Estimate:£5.03
