ABOUT PRODUCTID 11568
This postmodernist figural bell from Germany, dating to the 1970s, is crafted from chromed brass with a highly reflective, mirror-like silver surface throughout. The body features a gently flaring conical form, accentuated by two parallel, engraved lines near the base, introducing a subtle decorative note. The handle is topped with a precisely rendered bird perched on a stylized tree stump—an organic detail that stands in clear contrast to the geometric simplicity of the bell itself. Both the bird and stump are richly textured, while the bell’s surface is smooth and polished. The entire piece maintains a cool, metallic silver tone, with no additional colors or patterns. Its construction is meticulous, with seamless joints and all components remaining original. The bell is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear, restoration, or damage.This object recalls the creative freedom of the 1970s, when designers delighted in combining modernist discipline with a playful and ironic approach to everyday objects. The mirrored metal surface multiplies its surroundings, while the perched bird introduces a touch of figural wit—at once whimsical and poetic. Each ring of the bell and every touch evoke the spirit of postmodern experiment, where function and visual jest converge, transforming a utilitarian item into a small declaration of its era.The bell may serve as a striking decorative accent on a console or side table in the living room, where its reflective surface can interact with other metallic details or glass. It would pair well with minimalist forms and chromed lighting fixtures, providing a counterpoint in mid-century modern or eclectic, collector’s interiors. Consider displaying it alongside a contemporary art piece or Murano glass to highlight its postmodern heritage and graphic presence.
