Lovely Pair of Antique Victorian Silver Plated Figural Napkin Rings - 1891

19th century
For Sale by Kingsdown Antiques (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

A Lovely Pair of Antique Victorian Silver Plated Napkin Rings formed as a polished band with simple engraved line detail and a vacant cartouche panel to the top. A standing girl figure is attached to each ring, modelled in period dress with a hat and detailed drapery folds. A textured dog figure is applied to the opposite side, creating a charming narrative “girl and dog” theme typical of Victorian novelty tableware. Marked with Registration Number ‘168938’ for the year 1891.

* Victorian tableware often carried a sense of humour, and these little figures capture that perfectly.

Height: 2 1/4" (approx. 6cm)

Width: 2 3/4" (approx. 7cm)

Diameter of Napkin Ring: 1 1/2" (approx. 4cm)

Total weight: 202g

In good condition – Both rings present well overall, with the figures remaining crisp and clearly defined. There is light surface wear to the silver plate consistent with age and use.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popularised in the late nineteenth century, figural napkin rings feature cast three-dimensional figures, such as children, animals, or flora, attached to a central ring used to identify personal linen at table.

These items were predominantly crafted from base metals such as electroplated nickel silver or Britannia metal, coated with a thin layer of fine silver via electroplating techniques.

Authentic pieces usually feature manufacturer makers marks, registration numbers, or hallmarks stamped on the underside or rim, alongside period-appropriate casting details and slight surface oxidisation.

Integrate these accessories into contemporary dining tablescapes by pairing them with crisp linen napkins, neutral ceramics, and minimalist glassware for a subtle historical accent.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and a specialised non-abrasive silver polish to avoid stripping the silver plating, and store in a dry environment away from excess moisture.
