FAQs

Popularised in nineteenth-century Europe, silver napkin rings were introduced to identify individual linen napkins between laundering cycles during family dining.

Victorian napkin rings were typically crafted from sterling silver sheet metal using casting, repousse, chasing, or engine-turning techniques to create decorative cylindrical bands.

Authentic British silver items feature official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant denoting sterling purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Display cased sets open on a sideboard or incorporate the individual rings into contemporary dinner party tablescapes paired with natural linen napkins.

Clean gently using a dedicated silver polish polish foam and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive compounds that could wear down delicate surface chasing or hallmarks.
