Solid Brass Elephant Service Bell – Mid‑Century Figural Desk Accent
This solid brass elephant service bell brings a sculptural, tactile presence to a desk or counter, its raised trunk supporting a broad dome that rings with a clear, bright tone.
This mid‑century figural bell combines decorative charm with mechanical function, using a plunger‑activated internal striker that taps the dome to produce its signature ring. Figural brass bells like this were popular novelty and service items in the 1960s and 1970s, often imported from small brass workshops for hotel receptions, service counters, and home offices. The elephant form, long associated with good luck and steady footing, adds a grounded, character‑rich note to modern or collected spaces.
Dimensions are 5" long x 6.5" tall.
