Antlers Table Dinner Gong G177

Original, quality late 19th century dinner gong fashioned using a pair of Indian Sika Deer Antlers mounted with ebony plinths on an ebonised base board. This unusual example has a circular chromed gong suspended between the antlers with chromed mounts, and the base has also has chromed corner decorations and one to the centre for engraving if wanted. Both sides of the gong show wear to the chrome plating, as do some of the other plated mounts. The original old beater has been fitted with a replacement head with a chamie leather cover made to suit. All is complete and in good and working order with a good tone and resonance. The plated mounts have been polished and lacquered, although the lacquer may be removed at no extra cost. The base has been cleaned and repainted black, and the underside has been fitted with a replacement beige cloth.
