FAQs

Napkin clips gained popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as a practical dining accessory used to secure napkins to a diners clothing before the widespread use of table napkins placed on laps.

These accessories were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring intricate hand-engraving, repousse work, or mother-of-pearl backing.

Authentic pieces typically feature British hallmarks stamped with the makers mark, the standard mark indicating silver purity, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records of the era.

Antique silver items can be integrated into contemporary tablescapes as functional conversation pieces, displayed on sideboards, or used traditionally during formal dinner parties.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the patina and fine engraved details without removing the thin metal layer.
