Description

19th c with grape leaf motif and rising bird finial.

Provenance: From a Fine Park Place on Peachtree Condo

NOTE:  A nostalgic antique from the days of the Parisian brothels. This lovely Mother of Pearl bell made at the Palais Royal would have sat on the reception desk. The client would have rung it by flicking the thumb piece. If he were a regular customer, he would know the number of rings to make for his favorite lady.

4.5" x 3"
