Antique Wool-Embroidered Bell Pull, Birds & Flowers, Bronze Mounts – Victorian Wall Hanging

A beautiful antique bell pull (Victorian wall hanging) with hand-embroidered wool needlework in warm tones – golden yellow, ochre, honey, brown and deep chocolate. The design is filled with birds, flowers, scrolling foliage and whimsical botanical motifs, typical of late 19th to early 20th century European textile art.

Hardware

Mounted top and bottom with ornate bronze fittings, each with a hanging ring. Pieces like this once rang the servants' bell – today they are sought-after accents for Victorian, English and French country, cottage or dark academia interiors.
