Fine antique French sterling silver 1 7/8" napkin ring with fluted or columnar style, convex or rounded form and "FE" monogram! This one bears the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within that marks means it's in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). The silversmith mark is for Louis Ravinet & Charles D'Enfert, Paris circa 1891-1912.
