Antique French Sterling Silver 2" Napkin Ring, Foliate with Garland & "Valeria" Inscription
Beautiful antique French sterling silver 2" napkin ring with foliate decoration, bow & ribbon accented medallion with "Valeria" inscription and in wonderful condition! An elegant piece and relatively heavy at 44 grams. This one marked with the post-1878 French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number “1” within that mark means it’s in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for “sterling” silver). The silversmith mark is for Louis Ravinet & Charles Denfert, Paris circa 1891-1912. YES, a single here but 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 :).

They're great mixed & matched around your table, wonderful to find a set of twelve or more matching pieces but who could be so lucky. And, is
