Interesting collection of two vintage Asian-inspired brass decorative bells, each featuring ornate cast-metal construction and traditional architectural and botanical motifs. The first bell features an elaborate pagoda or temple-style frame with an open lattice roof, upturned eaves, and decorative dragon-like figures surrounding a suspended center bell. The detailed cast design gives the piece the appearance of a miniature traditional Asian temple or ceremonial gateway. The second piece features a decorative floral and vase motif mounted on an ornate pedestal base, with two suspended bells hanging from the branching design. A small striker hangs between the bells, allowing them to be rung individually. Engraved and textured detailing throughout the vase, flowers, leaves, bells, and base adds visual interest and traditional character. Together, these pieces make an unusual grouping of vintage brass bells, Asian decorative art, temple décor, pagoda collectibles, dragon motifs, floral brasswork, and miniature ceremonial-style bells. Their aged metal finish and intricate cast detailing would display beautifully in a curio cabinet, on a bookshelf, or alongside a collection of vintage Asian décor, brass figurines, bells, and decorative metalwork. Age-related patina, oxidation, discoloration, and surface wear may be present consistent with vintage metal pieces. See photos for more details.
