A handle or cord attached to an electric bell or bell-pull mechanism, used to summon service in a house.
Compound of 'bell' plus 'pull,' literally describing its function. Victorian and Edwardian homes standardized this feature.
Bellpulls were status symbols in Victorian homes—the more elaborate and numerous they were, the wealthier you were, and they created entire servant-calling systems that coordinated whole households.
