George V Silver Handbell 1934

A fine George V silver handbell, hallmarked London, 1934. Of elegant traditional form, the bell features a baluster-shaped handle with a turned finial, raised upon a domed and stepped bell body with a broad, spreading foot and neatly reeded borders. The polished silver surface is complemented by a decorative engraved device to the lower body, adding a refined heraldic character to the piece. The graceful proportions, crisp detailing and substantial construction reflect the enduring appeal of British silver of the George V period. A charming and highly decorative example of early 20th-century silver, equally suited to practical use, display, or as an appealing addition to a collection of British silver.
