Antique French Sterling Silver Napkin Ring, Louis XIV or Rococo Style, 31gm

Fine antique French sterling silver 2" napkin ring with rococo style pattern, medallion with interlaced "GH" or "HG" monogram and in wonderful condition! It bears the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within that mark means it's in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for "sterling" silver).  There was no silversmith mark that I could find though they are often tiny. One of several superb antique French sterling silver napkin rings that we’re adding today, among a host of other fabulous treasures so, be sure to browse some while you’re with us. Thanks!

We’ve amassed well over 100 great old mostly French sterling napkin rings over the years and I’m working on them now. They're great mixed & matched around your table, wonderful to find a set of twelve or more matching pieces but who could be so lucky. And, isn't it much neater if all are unique, each with a history...a story of its own! We have rococo style napkin rings, guilloche style machined or engraved napkin rings, French Empire style napkin rings, personalized napkin rings with the original owners’ names on them… Just a massive array of styles and aesthetically unbeatable! Browse and enjoy, they’re all so lovely and sure to add to your fine dining experience (and that of your guests, too)!

Very good condition. This one weighs 31 grams, built to last, great condition as you can see from the images. Faint surface scuffing and tarnish possible but no dents, damage or repairs to note. Very slightly out of perfect round.  See pictures for measurements.
