About the Item

Flemish bell, “from Mechelen”. Bronze. Century XVI. Hand bell with clapper made of bronze and decorated on the outside with a slight relief. The base presents, between bands, an inscription in capital letters and in Latin (“Sit nomen Domini benedictum”, “Blessed be the name of the Lord!”); above it, on the body of the bell, there is a decoration with angels, vases with plant elements, garlands, a cloth with the Holy Face, etc., of great classicist influence; the hand also shows a series of figurative elements. The text refers to the Apostolic or Papal Blessing, typical of the Catholic liturgy. The export trade of craft and artistic pieces during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that took place in the Netherlands was of great importance, especially between the territories that were then united under the same crown. Among the pieces (experts speak of an almost industrial type of elaboration) that enjoyed greater diffusion were these bells called "Malines" because they come from this Flemish city. The success of the model is indisputable and proof of this is that, from imported copies, molds were made with which to obtain absolutely identical copies. These bluebells usually have some common characteristics such as their small size and their esquinado profile; however, the peculiarity that easily identifies them is the decoration they present on their surface. · Size: 7,5x7,5x12 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
