About the Item

Early 20th Century English Bronze Ship’s Bell A finely cast English ship’s bell dating to the early 20th century, circa 1910–1930. Executed in solid bronze with a classic flared form and stepped moulding, this substantial piece retains its original wrought iron clapper, internal chain, and pull. The bell exhibits a beautifully aged surface with scattered pitting and oxidisation typical of long exposure to coastal conditions. The underside is finished in a reddish marine coating, commonly used to protect against salt corrosion, while the suspension bracket and eyelet remain fully intact and functional. A robust and evocative object, producing a clear, resonant tone. Origin: England Date: Circa 1910–1930 Material: Cast bronze and iron Dimensions: 28 cm high x 24.5 cm diameter Condition: Excellent structural condition with wear and patina consistent with maritime use. Original clapper and fittings retained. A decorative and functional maritime relic, equally suited for interior display, architectural repurposing, or outdoor use.
