Table Bell “Nude Couple” in Bronze - brown patina - H. 15,7 cm

A table bell whose handle is formed by a playful couple, very much in the spirit of Art Nouveau miniature art.

Behind a bare-chested, bearded man, a young woman teasingly takes hold of his head and beard, while his robe with its decorative border flares out into the bell. At a dinner party it announces the next course; in a cabinet it becomes a witty collectible.

Care
