Ornate Antique French Sterling Silver Napkin Ring, Guilloche Style Decoration, "A.G." Monogram

Gorgeous antique French sterling silver 2" napkin ring, 95% pure silver with ornate machined or engraved decoration including bead festooned edge bands, flower & foliate accented banner shaped medallion with "A.G." monogram! This one bears the post 1878 French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within the mark designates 95% pure and so just over the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). The silversmith mark is illegible unfortunately.

YES, a single here but one of several superb antique and vintage sterling silver napkin rings that we're adding today (and in the weeks ahead) so be sure to browse our current offerings to build a collection fit for royalty :).
