Bell From 1827, Moorish Noddle Head And Giraffe In Sautoir

Very pretty bell with movable head, a Charles X model, once gilded and patinated bronze, which could be bought in galleries of the Palais Royal. The dancer, superbly dressed, carrying her tambourine high, shows the famous Giraffe Zarafa, the event queen of the years 1827 / and 28, offered to French King Charles X by Méhémet-Ali ... A true girafomania touched more or less all the arts , from painting to engraving, letters in feminine fashion, earthenware, and therefore also my table bell!
Fairly good condition, it has now taken 200 years and some wear. Take a good look at the photos ....
