This pair of Victorian sterling silver napkin rings dates from 1890 and comes housed in a dark blue leatherette presentation box. The case features a fitted interior lined in white silk with a maker's stamp on the lid lining, and a dark blue velvet base holding the rings. Each silver napkin ring displays intricate foliate scroll engraving, a blank cartouche, and crimped rims. Hallmarked for Birmingham 1894 with the silversmith's mark for W. F. Casewell, the set weighs 30 grams and measures 6 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. These pieces work well in a traditional dining setting and add an authentic touch of period elegance to a formal table arrangement when entertaining guests. Alternatively, they sit neatly on a sideboard top as decorative display items within an English Country House interior when not in use for family dinners or special occasions.

FAQs

Popularised during the nineteenth century in Europe, silver napkin rings were used to identify individual cloth napkins between laundering cycles. In the Victorian era, cased pairs or sets became customary christening, wedding, and anniversary presentation gifts.

Victorian napkin rings were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate. They often feature hand-engraved foliate decoration, chased scrollwork motifs, and crimped rims, presented within fitted velvet and silk-lined display cases.

Authentic British sterling silver napkin rings feature a full set of official hallmarks stamped onto the metal casing. These include the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol, a specific date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Antique silver napkin rings add classic detail to contemporary tablescapes when paired with modern linen serviettes, simple ceramic tableware, and minimalist floral arrangements on a dining table or sideboard display.

Clean sterling silver napkin rings gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish to remove tarnish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and store the items inside their original velvet-lined presentation case when not in use.
