A early 20th century Edwardian annunciator panel, the quiet nerve center of a well-run household gathers sixteen rooms into a single quiet command center—Drawing Rm, Library, Hall, Dining R., Den, several bed chambers, even the Billiards Room—each once connected to a discreet call button somewhere deep within the house. When summoned, a white arrow would drop against the black ground, the small steel bell at the top chiming to announce that somewhere, someone required attention.
All of the indicators sit elegantly behind a single pane of glass, creating a bold graphic field of arrows and lettering. Across the glass, reverse-painted in gold leaf, is the proud signature of E. P. Jones & Co., Electricians—a subtle reminder to the household staff exactly who kept the wires humming.
Housed in a warm oak case and still containing its original mechanical “guts,” it stands ready—perhaps even willing—to ring again.
