The allure of silver, brought to you by {name}

Inés Fernández

A beautifully crafted antique sterling silver napkin ring, hallmarked for Birmingham, 1921, and dating to the George V era. This elegant wide band example features finely engraved foliate and geometric detailing, with a smooth central cartouche framed by decorative borders.

Early George V silver often retains the refined decorative influence of the Edwardian period, giving this piece a timeless and understated elegance.

The napkin ring is presented in its original jeweller’s presentation box, finished in dark burgundy leatherette with fine gilt line detailing and a deep blue velvet and silk interior, making it ideal as a thoughtful gift, a special christening keepsake, or a refined addition to a traditional table setting.

History

Napkin rings are a peculiarly Victorian invention, originally used to keep individual linen napkins neatly identified and in place between uses. Introduced in the mid-19th century, they were often personalised or engraved, particularly for family members or as christening and commemorative gifts.
