Antique Embossed Brass Door Bell Cover – Victorian Era

Description :
This beautifully aged antique door bell cover features a deeply embossed floral and scroll motif typical of late 19th-century decorative hardware. Crafted from cast or pressed brass, it exhibits a domed profile with a center mounting post where a mechanical striker or twist mechanism would have once activated the bell chime. Measuring 3 ½" wide by 2" deep, this bell cover was designed for exterior or parlor entry use, adding both function and ornate detail to a front door. The patina, oxidation, and remnants of aged silver wash enhance its historic charm—perfect for restoration or display.
