​A charming vintage cast brass figural bell, depicting a "Crinoline Lady" in traditional Victorian-style dress.
​This is a particularly substantial and well-cast example, weighing over 500g. The figure is shown wearing a wide-brimmed bonnet and a full, floor-length skirt adorned with an intricate all-over scrolled foliate pattern. The casting is crisp, with the decorative details of her gown and facial features remaining well-defined.
​Commonly used as tea or table bells in the early to mid-20th century, these figural bells have become highly collectable desk or shelf accessories. With its heavy weight and warm, authentic tone, this piece is a quality example of British brassware that fits perfectly into a traditional, cottage, or eclectic interior.
