Description

A beautiful ship's bell from the French warship "Jemmapes" mounted on a custom yoke I had made for it. The bell's clapper rope was created and presented to me by a U.S. Coast Guard Chief stationed in Boston, MA. The bell weighs approximately 50lbs and sounds unbelievable with clear, resonating gongs.
The yoke the bell hangs from was custom made in Boston at the Coast Guard base. The table the bell and yoke sits on is an antique side table I purchased for the bell and has folding extensions on the front and back along with draws on one side.
The piece will be sold as a set and makes a remarkable nautical display. Originally on display in a home on Martha's Vineyard, the piece is now in storage with my expansive nautical antique collection in Newton, MA.
Due to the size and weight of the piece I have listed it for "Local Pick-up Only" so the purchaser will have to figure any freight, shipping considerations.
