Hammered brass hanging gong, 21 cm

About this piece

Hammered brass hanging gong, 21 cm across, with braided hanging cord and a wooden beater with felt head. Weight about 700 g.

A compact hammered brass hanging gong, probably mid 20th century, measuring approximately 21 cm across and weighing about 700 g. The face has radial hammer marks that catch the light and give a lively, textured surface. It comes with its original braided cord for hanging and a simple wooden beater with a felt head. There are a few small patches of light pitting and spotting to the inner face, and these sit alongside a warm aged patina that suits display. The rim is intact and the piece hangs neatly from the cord. Handy for a mantel, a music corner or mounted on a wall as a decorative accent, it will suit anyone collecting small musical curios or unusual decorative metalware.
