FAQs

During the mid-20th century, British silversmiths continued the 19th-century tradition of producing sterling silver napkin rings for formal dining. Rings from the 1940s often reflected streamlined Deco and utility-era designs, combining functional geometric patterns like engine-turning with high-standard sterling craft.

Authentic British napkin rings were standardly wrought from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver mixed with copper for structural durability. Decorative elements were typically added using engine-turning lathes to create precise geometric engraving along the borders.

Authentic pieces bear official British assay office hallmarks stamped into the metal. A 1944 Birmingham piece will feature the lion passant for sterling silver, an anchor for the Birmingham assay office, the date letter U for 1944, and the registered makers initials such as HCD for Henry Clifford Davis.

Silver napkin rings can be incorporated into contemporary tablescapes alongside linen napkins, ceramic tableware, and modern glassware. They also serve as decorative display objects arranged on silver trays atop sideboards or within glazed cabinets.

Sterling silver should be wiped down after use and polished gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth or low-abrasive silver foam. Storing silver items in anti-tarnish cloth bags or dry, low-humidity environments prevents rapid oxidisation and surface discolouration.
