During the nineteenth century, dinner gongs were used in large households to announce meal times across multiple rooms and floors.

These items frequently incorporated polished animal horn, cast or hammered brass, and solid hardwood plinths such as oak or mahogany.

Authentic period examples display natural variation in the horn material, hand-hammered texturing on the brass central disc, and period-appropriate joining techniques such as copper rivets and fitted screws.

Position the gong as a focal decorative object on a dining room sideboard, hallway console table, or within a library display.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh liquid polishes on natural horn components, and apply metal polish sparingly exclusively to the brass elements.
