Vintage Paolo Soleri Cosanti Studio Cast Bronze Kinetic Wind Bell Chime

About the Item

An exceptional out-of-production 21.75-inch cast bronze architectural wind bell designed by visionary Italian-born architect and artist Paolo Soleri (1919–2013). Hand-cast at his renowned Cosanti studio in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Cast using Soleri’s signature earth-casting method, this piece features a textured dome bell chamber adorned with geometric relief markings, rim notches, and the raised Cosanti studio monogram / cipher. Suspended from two articulated geometric bronze top links, it is finished below with a triangular folded copper wind-sail that exhibits a rich contrast of warm copper tones and naturally aged green verdigris patina. Features the official cast Cosanti studio monogram stamped directly on the bell chamber.
