Antique French Sterling Silver Napkin Ring, Child's "Ginette" Inscription & Playful Badminton & Doll Decoration
Delightful antique French sterling silver 1 7/8" napkin ring a child's piece surely with badminton & doll figural scenes and "Ginette" inscription or dedication! This one bears the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, 1st quality for .950 silver content (the tiny number "1" within the mark designates 95% pure and so higher than the .925 standard for sterling silver). The silversmith mark is for Stephane Prudhomme, Paris circa 1920s. 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 :). 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 matching pieces but who could be so lucky. And, isn't it much neater if all are unique, each with a history...a story of it
