{"product_id":"brass-ship-bell-on-oval-stand-swinging-clapper","title":"Brass Ship Bell on Oval Stand - Swinging Clapper","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is something immediately purposeful about a ship's bell. Born from centuries of maritime tradition — marking the watch, signaling danger, calling the crew — the bell on a stand carries the authority of open water into any interior. This handcrafted brass piece, inspired by the classical nautical bells found aboard 19th-century vessels, brings that commanding presence to the scale of a desk or shelf. It is not decorative in the superficial sense: it is an object with a history of genuine utility, now faithfully reproduced as a piece of living décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast and finished entirely in solid brass, the bell is mounted within a rectangular post-and-crossbar frame rising from a substantial oval base — the same configuration used on working ship's bells for stability at sea. The swinging clapper is fully functional, and the warm brass finish catches light with the characteristic depth of a hand-polished metal surface. Every element — the turned finials on the frame posts, the flared bell mouth, the shaped handle of the clapper — reflects the considered proportions of maritime hardware tradition. Handcrafted in Egypt by Brass \u0026amp; Wood artisans who work in the tradition of classical metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: 8 cm \/ Depth: 9 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4 kg\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Solid brass\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Available in multiple brass tones\u003cbr\u003eAssembly: None required — arrives ready to display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bell is individually cast and finished at the Brass \u0026amp; Wood workshop in Egypt, where traditional brass-working techniques are applied to classical European and maritime designs.
