FAQs

Chinese Export Silver refers to silver objects produced in China from the late 18th century through the mid-20th century specifically for export to foreign markets. These pieces typically blend traditional Chinese hand-crafting techniques, such as repousse and chasing, with Western utilitarian forms like tea sets and napkin rings.

Antique napkin rings were primarily made from solid silver, sterling silver, or silver plate. Artisans crafted them using hammering, casting, repousse, and chasing techniques to create raised, three-dimensional decorative landscapes and patterns around the circumference.

Authentic Chinese export silver often features workshop marks or character stamps, occasionally accompanied by purity indicators such as 90 or STERLING. The detailing typically displays hand-chased relief work with natural, aged oxidisation in the deeper recesses.

An antique silver napkin ring can be paired with crisp linen napkins on contemporary dinner plates to add historical texture and contrast. It can also be displayed as part of a curated collection of antique silver items on a sideboard or tray.

Clean solid silver by wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth and a silver polish designed to clean without removing dark oxidisation from recessed detailed areas. Avoid abrasive chemical dips or harsh cloths that can scratch polished rims or erode hand-chased features.
