About the Item

Vintage Brass Counter or Service Bell This vintage brass counter bell is a beautifully crafted piece, featuring a simple harp-shaped support on a wide, stable base. Designed for both elegance and durability, this service bell produces a clear, crisp ring with a gentle press of the upper knob. A faint patina enhances its timeless charm, while its solid brass construction ensures longevity and reliable function. Service bells, often referred to as counter bells or call bells, have long been a staple in hotels, retail shops, banks, and professional establishments, dating back to the 19th century. These bells provided an efficient way for customers to alert clerks or staff, offering a blend of functionality and sophistication. The brass construction of this piece aligns with the classic designs seen in early 20th-century service counters, reflecting an era when even the smallest details in business environments were designed with style and purpose. Whether used as a functioning desk bell for a shop or hotel, or as a decorative vintage piece in a collection, this brass counter bell is both practical and visually appealing.
