Needlepoint Floral Bell Pull Wall Hanging — Brass Glockenspiel Mount, West Germany circa 1950s–60s

A slender column of hand-worked needlepoint flowers cascades between ornate brass fittings — the kind of piece that brings quiet, considered character to a hallway, drawing room, or dressing room wall.

OBJECT DETAILS: An ideal piece for interior designers sourcing characterful mid-century European textiles, or for film and TV prop buyers seeking period-accurate domestic interiors from the 1950s–60s.

A West German glockenspiel bell pull, comprising a full-length needlepoint panel depicting a repeating floral bouquet — roses, lilies, and forget-me-nots worked in warm rose, amber, violet, and sage green on a neutral ground — framed by a border of amber-gold velvet ribbon and finished with a fine braided metallic trim. The panel is mounted on two cast brass ornamental fittings: an upper bracket featuring scrolling Rococo-style relief with a small suspended bell, and a lower weighted ring. The needlepoint itself is finely worked petit point throughout.

Origin: West Germany. Circa 1950s–1960s.

DIMENSIONS: H 120cm × W 26cm (H 47.2" × W 10.2") Full hanging length including brass fittings: approximately 120cm.

CONDITION: In good vintage condition, consistent with age and use. A small number of loose stitches are present in the needlepoint panel — these are minor and not visible from a normal viewing distance. The brass fittings show light age patina. The velvet border retains good colour. No tears, no staining, no structural damage. Bell and lower ring present and intact.
