It is Rendered in the Classic American Arts & Crafts - "Mission" Style. It is Beautifully & Primarily Hand Made - Custom Made Out of Tiger Grained Solid Oak. It has a Solid Cast Bronze Bell that is Mounted on a Church Steeple Style Swivel Bracket that Omits a Loud and Lovely Ring Tone. The Lower Section is Mounted with a Plaque Possibly Cherry Wood ? that Bears a Hand Lettered Wood Burned Quote Taken from one of the works of the Late 18th - Early 19th Century English Romantic Poet George Gordon Byron - "Lord Byron". It is in Excellent Condition and it Displays Beautifully. It Still Retains its Original Varnish. No Damage. Note that I when I Acquired the Piece it was Missing the Dangling Pull that was Used to Rings the Bell. Upon inspection I was able to Determine that it Originally has a Strip of Leather that Would have been Approx 1/2 inch Wide by 14inches Long. This was Attached with a Wood Screw & Washer and I have Replaced it with a Cow Hide Lace but You Could Change - Replace that if So Desired. It Has No Maker Mark but it is Very Similar to Pieces that were Produced by The Roycroft Shop, Gustave Stickley, Limberts Etc.
