DUE TO EBAYS PUNITIVE CHARGES ON OVERSEAS TRANSACTIONS UK BIDDERS ONLY ON THIS ITEM PLEASE.

A GENUINE ANTIQUE ART NOUVEAU OR ARTS & CRAFTS DESIGN CAST BRASS DINNER GONG COMPLETE
WITH ITS ORIGINAL STRIKER AND DATING TO CIRCA 1910.
IT IS APPROX. 10.5 INCHES HIGH BY 9.25 INCHES WIDE WEIGHING ROUGHLY 0.74 KG OR 1.63 LBS.
THE VISIBLE AREAS HAVE BEEN POLISHED WHEREAS THE REVERSE SIDES SHOW NATURAL PATINATION.
IT IS IN GOOD USED ANTIQUE CONDITION WITH A REPLACEMENT STRING AND SOME MINOR BENDING TO
THE STRIKER BUT ALTHOUGH IT WILL STAND OK ON A FLAT,HARD SURFACE WHEN THE GONG IS STRUCK
IT FALLS OVER.
I SUSPECT THIS COULD BE CORRECTED BY BENDING THE FEET SLIGHTLY ???
THERE IS WEAR TO THE FEET IN THIS AREA WHICH I HAVE SHOWN IN MY GREATLY MAGNIFIED IMAGES.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE CHOOSING TO BID.
