Antique French 800 (nearly sterling) Silver 2" Napkin Ring PAIR, Ribbon Borders
Elegant PAIR of antique French .800 (nearly sterling) silver 2" napkin rings with "his & her" type interlaced monograms and fluted rims with crossed ribbon decoration! Both bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the shape and tiny number "2" within the marks means they're in .800 or better silver content (80% pure and so just under the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). There are no tiny silversmith marks that I've been able to find but not uncommon with smaller silver works or if they were commissioned pieces. YES, a PAIR here, hard to find. This listing is one of several superb antique and vintage sterling silver napkin rings that we're adding today (and in the weeks ahead) so be sure to browse our current offerings to build a collection fit for royalty :). We've amassed over 100 great old mostly French sterling napkin rings over the years and I'm working on them now. They're great mixed & matched around your table, wonderful to find a set of twelve or more match
