Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Dinner gongs were introduced to British dining etiquette during the mid-nineteenth century, gaining widespread popularity in Victorian and Edwardian country houses. They served to sound the call for dinner across large properties, replacing handbells with resonant gong tones.

Most late nineteenth and early twentieth-century dinner gongs feature dark hardwood frames such as oak, mahogany, or walnut. The gong plate or dome is typically cast or hammered brass or bronze, suspended by leather thongs or cords to allow resonance.

Authentic period examples display signs of genuine wear, such as natural patination on the brass surface, hand-hammered textures, and authentic joinery on the wooden frame. Original strikers often show wear to the cord and mallet head.

A freestanding dinner gong functions as a sculptural accent when placed in an entrance hallway, staircase landing, or dining room alcove. Pairing dark timber and warm brass alongside neutral plaster walls creates visual contrast.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain. Preserve the natural aged patina on the brass plate by avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners, wiping gently with a soft cloth.
