FAQs

Napkin rings became popular during the Victorian era as formal dining practices expanded amongst the middle and upper classes, often used to identify individual napkins between meals.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver, utilising techniques such as hand engraving, repousse, chasing, and bead edging, housed in fitted leather-covered boxes lined with satin or velvet.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside the characteristic weight and patina of nineteenth-century silver.

They can be displayed on a dining table for formal occasions, or placed within a glass cabinet or sideboard as part of a curated display of vintage silver objects.

Silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and soft cloth to remove tarnish, and stored in a tarnish-resistant cloth or fitted box in a dry environment.
