Mid-Victorian brass reception bell by William Tonks & Sons of Birmingham
A stylish, mid Victorian brass reception counter top bell to call for attention, with leaves and berries adorning the base.
Raised high and with an elegant finial to the top, unusually, this beautiful brass bell has a sprung clanger which strikes the exterior of the bell.
The British Victorian registered design mark to the base of a foot tells us this design was registered in 1865, specifically the 8th of November., so this piece likely dates from the late 1860s. It was produced by William Tonks & Sons, a highly prominent 19th century brass foundry based in Birmingham.
Ideal for the reception of your business such as a shop or hotel, or for a room from where someone may need to alert for attention, like when your cocktail has run out.
15cm tall X 12.5cm diameter.
