The Oiled Bronze Pineapple Doorbell Ringer was designed by Michael Healy, an accomplished Rhode Island artisan. The Pineapple is a traditional symbol for abundant hospitality, making it an ideal image to greet guests who ring your doorbell.The Oiled Bronze Pineapple Doorbell Ringer is cast in solid bronze. It was hand-crafted in Rhode Island using the age old art of foundry casting. During the process molten bronze is heated to over 2000ºF then carefully poured into a hand made sand mold. This mold is used only once, giving your Doorbell Ringer its individual character. The Pineapple Ringer is then given a statuary oiled bronze finish, highlighted by hand and coated with a clear lacquer to protect its original finish. It is signed in the mold by the artist, Michael Healy, confirming its authenticity and quality craftsmanship.
