Imagine giving the braided rope a gentle tug and hearing that lovely clear ring fill the room or boat cabin. That proper nautical feeling? That is exactly what our nautical brass ship bell brings into homes and boats across the UK and Europe every single day. It is small enough for everyday use yet solid enough to feel like the real thing.

Handcrafted solid brass with real ship heritage

I picked this one up and straight away thought, “this feels proper.” It is made from high-quality brass that has been polished to a warm golden shine. The classic shape, curved mounting bracket and thick braided rope all come straight from traditional ship designs. At 600 grams it has a lovely heavy feel in your hand – nothing flimsy about it.

Ship’s bells were originally rung every half hour to mark the watches on board. One ring after the first half hour, two after the first hour, right up to eight at the end of the four-hour watch. This fully functional bell lets you bring that lovely piece of sea history into your own life.
