bellpull
Rope for ringing
A bellpull is a cord, handle, or strip of fabric used to ring a servant's bell, typically mounted on a wall in older houses.
Pulling it activates a bell in another part of the house—usually the kitchen or servants' quarters—to summon assistance: She reached for the bellpull to call for tea.
