This handsome antique mechanical doorbell bears its patent date of 1872 on the bottom of the cast iron base. The bell is by Sargent, and the cast brass cover bears a wonderful aesthetic sunburst design - note the different details in each of the 16 sections.
The antique cast brass pull is a wonderful example of the Aesthetic period, with fans and feathers uniting to create a rather Egyptian feel. This pull has developed a very dark patina.
This highly desirable set is in excellent working order, and we stand at the ready for any installation questions you may have. With its medium-toned "BONG", this would be a stunning way to greet your guests.
Bell base measures 3 3/4" diameter (4 1/4" across screw holes). Pull measures 2" wide by 4 3/4"tall. This bell will accomodate a door up to 2 3/8" thick.
