It looks like the dome of a Victorian era doorbell, as shown at the following link:

Glad we could help! 
Looks like the same ornate design as the one at the link I posted... Sargent & Co., c. 1880's. If so, the bell has patent dates of July 4, 1878 and June 10, 1882. It's also illustrated on p. 133 of Web Wilson's Antique Hardware Price Guide.
