Beautiful reproduction door bell cover--just the right amount of ornament. Great quality--made of heavy cast brass. I love that the button itself is brass rather than plastic or LED. AND the tone of the metal is perfect. Brass is an alloy, and alloys differ somewhat in composition. Clear lacquers are sometimes used to keep the brass from tarnishing, but they also maintain a finish that to me looks fake. This doorbell cover has a lovely warm tone (higher copper content perhaps?) unlike some of the bluer, more plasticky-looking modern brass finishes. (My install doesn't have the prettiest background, but in my picture you can see the difference in tone between the doorbell cover and my Kwikset polished brass finish handleset in the background. I may try to remove the protective lacquer of the Kwikset handleset to allow the patina to develop.)Read full review

A really lovely little item. I just have to work out what else i need wire/electric/bell wise to get it up and running. It has inspired me to sort out our front door, which is on a period property but has been panelled in the 60's, all leaded light replaced with ugly glass.....this little bell push is the beginning of that renovation project! Thank you :)

The brass casting of the bell push I received was very poor quality, with file marks and uneven proportions. Not recommended for the price.
