Elegant antique French sterling silver 2" napkin ring with Louis XVI or rococo style pattern and "Maurice" inscription or dedication! It bears the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" in the upper right corner means it's in .950 silver (95% pure so above the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). The silversmith mark is partially visible but I recognize it and it's for Eugene Lefebvre, Paris circa 1896-1910. A perfect match to a mint julep or wine cup, tumbler or "timbale" that we're adding today, both with the "Maurice" inscription, in case you're interested. One 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 36 grams and is in great condition as you can see from the images. Faint surface scuffing and tarnish in the recessed areas but no dents, damage or repairs to note. Slightly out of perfect round. See pictures for measurements.
