A late 19th-century table bell, attributed to Polish craftsmanship, cast in bronze and brass. The bell body is characterized by balanced, functional lines, adorned with fine incised rings just above the base. The handle is an openwork casting in the form of a grapevine—an ornamental motif typical of the naturalist and late historicist styles popular around 1880–1900. Its sculptural detailing—articulated leaves and twisting vines—creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, enhanced by a rich, multi-tonal patina.

The finish alternates between matte and lightly burnished areas where fingers have worn a subtle gloss.
