Michael Healy Solid Brass/Bronze Butterfly Lighted Doorbell Ringer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Monarch Butterfly Doorbell Ringer was designed by Michael Healy, an accomplished Rhode Island artisan. He has always enjoyed watching the beautifully colored Monarch Butterfly. Although the Monarch seems to be wandering in aimless flight it is in fact a marathon flyer that migrates from Canada and the northern States to Mexico each fall. The Monarch Butterfly Doorbell Ringer was designed to capture this beautiful creature at rest by your front door. The Butterfly's wings are cast in solid bronze and its body in solid brass. Brass and bronze are copper-based alloys. The yellow brass alloy used in many of Michael's designs contains 70% copper and produces a warm, traditional brass look. Red bronze contains almost 85% copper. This additional copper content gives the bronze alloy its rich, reddish undertone. The mirrored finish of polished brass and polished bronze is achieved through varying degrees of sanding and buffing. Michael uses these techniques to highlight or accent the raised areas on a piece. It is hand crafted using the age old art of sand casting. This mold is used only once, giving your Doorbell Ringer its individual character. It is signed in the mold by the artist, Michael Healy, confirming its authenticity and quality craftsmanship.
