Foliate Copper-Alloy Bell Push

An asymmetrical cast bell-push plate with leaf and flower motifs around a metal button.

Circa 1900–1920, combining Rococo and Art Nouveau influences. The heavy copper alloy is probably bronze. The rear mechanism remains, but operation has not been tested. Dark patina, wear and localised oxidation are present.
