1920s English Ebony Ceremonial Gavel w/ CBD Monogram

A refined English ceremonial gavel dating to the 1920s, crafted from polished ebony and fitted with a silver-plated band engraved with the initials “C.B.D.” Pieces like this were traditionally commissioned for civic institutions, fraternal organizations, courts, or formal societies, serving as symbols of order, authority, and procedural tradition.

The gavel’s classic proportions and turned handle reflect early 20th-century British craftsmanship, while the monogram suggests a specific presentation or commemorative purpose. Today, it presents beautifully as a study or library accent, a collector’s object, or a meaningful display piece tied to legal or institutional history.

A restrained, elegant object with presence and purpose.
