Mid-Century Swiss Bronze Cow Bell with Original Leather Strap and Buckle

About the Item

Bring the spirit of the Swiss Alps into your home with this impressive large-scale bronze cowbell, crafted in Switzerland circa 1960. Cast in solid bronze, the bell features beautifully embossed alpine motifs in relief, including a Swiss chalet, fir trees, a grazing cow, floral medallions, a deer head, and the iconic Swiss cross shield. Garlands and floral borders frame the design, adding a refined yet festive touch. It retains its original wide leather strap, constructed of thick, double-stitched leather with brass buckles, originally designed for securing the bell around the neck of a prized cow, now ideal for hanging from a beam or wall bracket as a decorative centerpiece. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a wonderful patinated bronze finish. This mid-century Swiss bell offers authentic heritage charm and bold visual impact, perfect for a mountain lodge, farmhouse entry, or collector of alpine memorabilia. Measures: 9.5" diameter.
