Eagle Wall Gong by William Tonks and Son

A superb quality wall gong by William Tonks and Son of Birmingham, modelled as an eagle with a snake in its beak. The gong is of the best quality, the eagle head is wonderfully modelled and cast and gilt though this has tarnished somewhat. The eagle head is mounted on a solid oak shield of great colour and patina. The gong is the original and hangs from the snake in the eagle’s beak. The beater in lignum vitae is the original and fits perfectly on the support at the base of the oak shield. The piece retains the William Tonks and Son mark on the reverse of the oak shield. The whole is the most wonderful quality and quite the best model of a dinner gong you will see. C.1890.

Overall sizes when hanging on the wall in inches:

25 high

11 wide

9 deep
