Michael Healy Solid Bronze Dog Paw Lighted Doorbell Ringer

Full information about Michael Healy Solid Bronze Dog Paw Lighted Doorbell Ringer

The Dog Paw Doorbell Ringer was designed by Michael Healy, an accomplished Rhode Island artisan. After walking on a rainy day, Michael and his dog Alex created this original design from mud left on the kitchen floor. The Dog Paw Doorbell Ringer is the perfect way to show love for your furry friend. The Dog Paw Doorbell Ringer is cast in solid bronze. 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 handcrafted using the age-old art of sand casting. During this process, molten brass is heated to over 2000ºF and then carefully poured into a handmade sand mold. This mold is used only once, giving the Doorbell Ringer its individual character.The Dog Paw Ringer was hand polished and coated with a clear lacquer to protect its original finish. It carries the signature of artist Michael Healy, confirming its authenticity and quality craftsmanship.
