FAQs

Napkin clips were designed to secure a napkin to a diners clothing during meals, protecting garments from spills before the widespread use of large dining tables and laps dedicated solely to dining.

These accessories were traditionally fashioned from sterling silver, silver-plate, base metals, and occasionally incorporated mother-of-pearl or bone elements in their spring mechanisms.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining makers marks, hallmarks indicating silver purity, and the mechanical integrity of the spring clip mechanism characteristic of period manufacturing.

Such small collectable items are frequently displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on silver display trays, or utilised as functional accessories during formal dining occasions.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with a non-abrasive silver cloth to remove tarnish while protecting the underlying metal and any makers marks from excessive wear.
