ABOUT PRODUCTID 11571
This figural service bell from Germany, dating to the 1970s, is crafted entirely from chromed brass. The bell’s conical body features a smooth, mirror-like surface in a uniform, cool silver tone. Two subtle, horizontal grooves near the base emphasize the geometric clarity and rhythm of the form. Its most distinctive feature is the sculptural handle: a dynamically posed bird, rendered with finely detailed feather texture, perched on a branch and providing a tactile and visual counterpoint to the minimalist bell body. The main surface is highly polished and reflective, while the bird and branch have a more matte, textured finish. There are no visible joints or screws, underscoring the object’s seamless and robust construction. The proportions are balanced, with the bird handle harmoniously integrated into the overall design. The bell is preserved in very good condition—its surface shows no signs of wear, dulling, or patina.The object embodies the spirit of the late twentieth century, when design embraced a sense of humor and playful self-awareness. Here, the bell becomes both tool and sculpture: the bird on the branch suggests lightness and a postmodern twist. The mirrored chrome reflects its surroundings, lending the piece a sense of fluidity, while the dynamic handle invites interaction. This is an object that transcends mere function, evoking an era when everyday items took on an artistic, expressive role.Such a bell can be displayed as an accent on a living room console—especially alongside a geometric lamp or a collection of colorful Murano vases, highlighting its collectible context. It fits well within eclectic, postmodern-inspired interiors, but can also stand out in minimalist spaces, where its form and reflective finish draw the eye. The bell may be paired with metallic accessories or furniture with simple lines, showcasing
