This table bell was produced by the Henniger manufactory in Vienna in 1880, during the Austro-Hungarian era. Crafted from white brass and plated with silver, it displays a cool, silvery tone and a matte to subtly satin surface, enhanced by a uniform, natural patina that attests to its age. The bell stands 9.6 cm high with a 6 × 6 cm base, featuring late 19th-century proportions and neoclassical influences. Its symmetrical, geometric handle with ornamental finials and a gently flared base reflect the period’s taste for order and restrained decoration. Three horizontal, incised rings encircle the body, emphasizing its historical character. The construction is solid, with seamless joints and no visible modern repairs.

Its condition is very good, showing only gentle signs of use, minor surface marks, and an even patina—no major damage or restoration.

The geometric handle and decorative details reveal an affinity for symmetry, order,
