Eames Era Mid Century Long Bell Door Chime Doorbell

Mahogany Long Bell Door Chime

Here is a new, in the box door chime. The long bells are not just for show, they actually ring to announce your guests.

Ribbon Mahogany has been a favorite of craftsmen for centuries. And it's no wonder why. Mahogany has a beautiful color and grain with a natural iridescence.  Modern materials and classic good looks define this chime.  Aluminum musical quality bells hang below the handcrafted case giving presence to the chime, even while silent. The classic proportions are ideally suited for a doorbell nook, alcove or niche. It also looks great on a plain wall.

This chime is Ideally styled fo a mid-century Eichler Home, Ranch Style, or a Loft. It's equally at home in a modern or art deco, or classic decor. The satin aluminum bells are an ideal compliment to brushed nickel hardware or stainless steel appliances.

The door bells available today, with tinny sounds, or worse, electronic tones, are totally lacking in charm. Certainly your house deserves better.

This chime is hand crafted in Northern California with quality materials.  Real mahogany is laminated to a resin substrate and laminated to steel for dimensional stability. The case is finished with multiple coats of varnish to enhance the wood's natural grain. The bells are annnodized and will never tarnish or discolor.

This chime has a really rich sound with a long resonance that will be heard throughout your house. A perfect way to welcome guests with dignity. Since the sound of a door bell is the first thing your visitors encounter, shouldn't you have a nice one? Indeed, many finer  homes have a built in nook especially for the door bell.

This chime measures approximately 39 inches from the top of the case to the bottom of the longest bell. The case is 6 3/4 inches wide, four inches tall and 2 1/2 inches deep.

This doorbell can be wired to a standard 16 volt transformer with two wires if you want to connect only to the front door, or three wires for a front and rear doorbell. Most homes have this existing wiring already. Installation instructions included. Also included are two standard anchors and screws for mounting to drywall or plaster walls. The chime will also operate with a ten volt transformer at a slightly reduced volume.

This is a brand new, hand crafted chime manufactured in Northern California by ElectraChime.  The major manufacturers, including NuTone, Rittenhouse and Edwards have long since stopped making quality long bell door chimes, so this is an unusual opportunity to own a retro style door chime.
