This is a Victorian-style solid sterling silver table bell, made in 1960. The piece has a polished silver and cream colour palette, with a silver dome and a turned cream-coloured bone handle. The handle features turned decorative rings and a flanged finial at the top. The dome has a flared lip above a stepped base with a hallmarked surface, displaying stamps alongside a metal screw fixture. Two vertical splits are visible in the bone handle. The object stands 12 cm high, 5.5 cm wide, and 5.5 cm deep. In a modern home, this table bell suits a traditional office desk or a gentleman's library setting. It functions as a working hand bell for calling attention or service in a study, home office, or reception space. The compact proportions allow placement on a writing desk, bookcase shelf, or side table alongside books and correspondence accessories. The combination of polished metal and natural bone brings a traditional aesthetic to workspaces and writing areas.

FAQs

Silver table bells were traditionally used in nineteenth and early twentieth-century households to summon servants or signal the commencement of courses during formal dining.

Table bells were commonly fabricated from sterling silver, silver plate, or brass, frequently fitted with turned handles made from bone, wood, mother-of-pearl, or ivory.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmark stamps indicating silver purity and maker marks, alongside evaluating internal clapper construction and hand-turned joinery.

Place the bell atop a stacked collection of books on an office desk, or display it alongside silverware on a sideboard to add historical detail.

Gently polish the silver body with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver cream, avoiding contact between liquid cleansers and organic handle materials.
