Fabulous antique French Belle Epoque era sterling silver 2" napkin ring PAIR with laurel or foliate bands, guilloche style machined or engraved decoration, raised foliate accented medallions with his & her style interlaced monograms, both thick & heavy at 45 grams each and in fabulous condition! Both bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within those marks means they are in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). The silversmith mark is only partially legible so I've not been able to find reference as of yet. 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!

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)!
Excellent condition. Each weighs 45 grams, built to last, great condition as you can see from the images. Faint surface scuffing possible but no dents, damage or repairs to note. See pictures for measurements.
