This Victorian silver napkin clip presents a rounded form crafted from sterling silver in a polished silver colour. The design includes an engraved floral medallion on the front face, a sliding tension bead positioned along the upper stem, and a curved collar hook designed to attach securely to clothing. The piece measures 3.5 cm high, 1.5 cm wide, and 1.3 cm deep. In a contemporary home, the napkin clip sits on a dining table or within a dining room setting, serving both a functional role to secure a serviette during meals and a decorative purpose as a collectable small-scale antique object. The mechanism allows the napkin to be held between the two leaves while attached to a shirt or collar, continuing traditional dining accessories used in English Country House interiors.

FAQs

Introduced during the 19th century, a silver napkin clip was designed to attach a dining napkin to a shirt collar or dress neckline to protect attire during meals.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, featuring a curved hook, a sliding collar mechanism, and a hinged clip decorated with hand engraving.

Authentic examples feature British hallmarks indicating the silver purity, maker, and assay office, along with period engraving styles such as floral or foliate patterns.

A silver napkin clip can be presented on a sideboard tray as part of an antique silver collection or set out on a dining table during formal entertaining.

Clean the silver using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive cleansers that can wear down delicate hand engraving.
