Themed collection - 5x Antique bells and cowbells (19th–20th centuries)

This fascinating lot of five pieces encapsulates the essence of folk art, rustic collecting, and vintage domestic elegance. From Alpine peaks to the refined salons of the past, every bell in this collection tells a unique story and emits a different tonal timbre. - Decorated Alpine Bell Large (Brass/Bronze): A splendid relief-decorated specimen with scenes of mountainous nature, wildlife (ibex/deer), edelweiss, and the raised inscription "M. HOUTTE", equipped with a rigid loop for the collar. - Service Bell in Glass and Metal: A piece of great vintage grace, made in cut glass with a lid and a figurative metal clapper depicting a stylized figure (ideal as a table bell or reception bell). - Rustic Cast Iron Bell: A piece of pronounced materiality and archaic flavor with patina and a hand-forged conical shape. - 2x Ancient Bronze Farm Bells: Two traditional bronze bells with deep patina and traces of vintage verdigris, classic agro-pastoral craftsmanship. While the pasture and forged bells come from the artisanal production of old local foundries in the Alpine arc between the 1800s and the early 1900s, the signed piece bears the typical workmanship of French/Swiss mountain souvenir and collectibles metallurgical manufactories. An eclectic lot with great visual impact, perfect for enriching a collection of antique bells, for furnishing historic houses, mountain chalets, or rustic yet refined venues. Dimensions from 6 to 9 cm
