This Victorian table bell dates from 1895 and is fashioned from solid sterling silver with a bright silver finish. The piece comprises a heavy, plain bell body with a polished domed top and a moulded circular collar underneath a detachable cast elephant finial handle complete with a decorated saddle cloth. Surface signs of age include light handling scratches across the metallic body, and the interior retains its original hallmarked clapper. Measuring 10.1 cm high by 8.2 cm wide, the bell weighs 22.5 Troy Oz and bears no personal inscriptions. Place this practical antique on a mahogany office desk in a gentleman's library or study to summon assistance or simply as a sculptural paperweight. The substantial weight provides a resonant ring when struck, while the elephant motif adds a decorative nineteenth-century touch to a traditional workspace.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, table bells were functional objects used in domestic households to summon staff, often crafted in sterling silver with ornate finials to reflect household status.

These pieces were typically raised or cast from sterling silver with a purity of 925 parts per thousand, featuring decorative finials cast separately and fitted to the main silver dome.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmarks including the lion passant mark for purity, an assay office mark, a date letter, and a registered makers mark stamped into the silver.

Position the bell on a dark mahogany desk, console table, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound books and classic brass items to create a refined study display.

Gently polish the surface using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or moisture that could accelerate oxidisation.
