This Hermes of Paris table bell originates from the 1960 period in an equestrian style. The piece is formed from silver plate with a polished silver finish, comprising a dome body and a ring top handle shaped as a horse bit. Visible details include a reflective curved surface, a smooth rounded dome, and small metal loops securing the horse bit handle. The bell stands at 14 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a gentleman's library or on an office desk, the bell functions practically as a dinner or service bell while serving as a decorative table accessory. It operates by hand using the upper ring handle, producing a clear ring sound when struck.

FAQs

Table bells were traditionally utilised in formal dining rooms and private offices during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to summon attendants or house staff discreetly.

These items typically feature a cast metal alloy body coated in heavy electroplated silver, paired with decorative handles such as forged snaffle horse bits and an internal clapper suspended from a central pin.

Authentic pieces generally bear stamped maker marks or hallmarks near the lower rim or inner lip, along with consistent silver electroplating, balanced weight, and precise joinery on decorative handles.

Position the bell on a dark wood executive desk, a styled sideboard top, or stack it alongside books on a coffee table to introduce a structured metallic accent.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh immersion solutions that could strip the surface silver layer.
