Silver table bells were first made in Britain in the 18th Century, with early examples being very rare and highly sought after. Novelty shaped bells started being produced in the Victorian period, with unique designs being equally as collectible, and in the 20th Century silver bells made by designer silversmiths are highly prized. The standard form of the silver bell has changed little since its inception, and they are popular both as gifts and amongst collectors.
