bell pull
Rope rings bell
A bell pull is a cord, chain, or handle used to ring a servant's bell, typically found in older houses where it connected to bells in the kitchen or servants' quarters.
The mechanism allowed residents to summon help from another room: She gave the bell pull a sharp tug.
Bell pulls were standard fixtures in wealthy Victorian homes.
